Hipmunk , the winner of Travel + Leisure’s Best Travel Websites 2011, is known for their lovable logo and their commitment to removing “agony” from travel planning. “We wanted to find a way to give people the best high level understanding of results and make it easier to mentally narrow down what the best options are,” said Adam Goldstein , co-founder and CEO, Hipmunk.QPX™ pricing and shopping technology in January 2011, to give travelers more comprehensive results and more flexibility in how those results are displayed. According to Adam, “The way we standardized how the results are displayed was a huge differentiator, and a big reason why people love Hipmunk. We built a site to help users find a way to easily compare schedules, prices, lengths of flights and duration for example. As it turned out our users became passionate about Hipmunk and we see them sharing their Hipmunk experiences with friends, family and colleagues. What we’re doing does take the agony out of the experience , and it worked out far better than we hoped!”What have you done with QPX that has helped differentiate Hipmunk or been really popular with your users? Calendar shopping, Multi-city shopping, Search filters for multiple airlines and flexible dates, ITA routing language that lets users fine tune search parameters before they click search, and Integrated airfare shopping results with Google Calendars. special routing notation to search for certain airlines, cities, flights -- or even specify cities they don’t want to connect through, maybe because those airports are known for having terribly long layovers, frequent delays or weather issues -- all to return the most relevant search results right away. This has been pretty popular with frequent fliers.How has Hipmunk benefited the most since working with us? What change in technology has had the biggest impact on the travel industry over the last decade? What have you learned about the travel industry that surprised you? What's the funniest thing that's happened to you while traveling? Mantar Evi - which means Mushroom House. It sprung up pretty randomly, and the entire menu was all mushrooms. I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, it was the most delicious and best meal we had on our entire trip.
