New Travel Search Tools Online

Frommer’s has a new article on travel metasearch tools like Mobissimo, Kayak, and FareChase. These are sites which regular readers of this column should all be familiar with.

There are good descriptions of each of the sites in the Frommer’s piece, though you’re still better off using my own FAQs as a reference:
