Pikimal Announces Top Travel Sites

Online, October 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - With the holiday season quickly approaching, millions of Americans are making their travel plans to visit family, friends, or just to get away. The period ranging from Thanksgiving to New Years is one of the busiest times of the year for airports, bus stations, and highways.

According to a recent American Express survey, three out of ten Americans plan on travelling this holiday season-that's over 90 million people on the move. What's even more interesting is that 42% of travelers said they would spend more on travel this year versus the last several years.

Many of these travel arrangements will be made online. Travel sites that allow consumers to compare airlines, hotels, and even rental car prices have been around for years and allow savvy users to find some of the best deals available.

Although the style and content of the sites may appear universal at first glance, there are considerable differences. Booking options, fees, and ease of use all vary between even the largest travel sites. Still, it takes long enough to compare airfare, let alone the sites providing it. That's where Pikimal comes in. They've done the legwork for you and compiled a simple and customizable top ten list of the best travel websites. The list, along with explanations of rankings, is available at travel-website.pikimal.com.
