Toronto, March 1, 2004- Farematrix's FlightShopper now powers the new business to consumer airfare booking engine on one of Canada's largest online retailers, Tripcentral.ca. Previously, Tripcentral.ca's web site had featured six different airfare booking engines. These engines include; scheduled fares, net fares, charter fares and airline web sites. With FlightShopper, Tripcentral.ca's booking engines are now combined into one easy to use search interface for the consumer.

FlightShopper eliminates the need for the consumer to search multiple booking engines for scheduled fares, net fares, charter fares and airline web sites. The fares are displayed in an orderly manner from the lowest to highest priced airfare for the consumer to do an "apples to apples" comparison between the agencies chosen sites. Consumers will no longer become frustrated with having to repeat their search for each of the travel agencies web site booking engines. FlightShopper searches all of the travel agencies sites at one time in seconds while the consumer only has to enter the data once.

Richard Vanderlubbe says, "Within hours of placing FlightShopper on our web site we had four bookings; I was pleasantly surprised. Airfare is an area of the business that we have decided not to do our own development, as it is just too costly, unpredictable in revenue stream, and commoditized. This is a good low-cost solution for the Canadian market."

FlightShopper provides the Agency with statistics of every search their customers make. This information can help travel agencies greatly when determining what type of marketing and advertising they could do to reach their greatest potential.
