Its purpose is to locate all Domestic and Trans Tasman fares, including all low cost internet only fares, and compare the fare levels in one simple screen shot. The system automatically searches for fares one hour before and after the requested time, offering our clients the option of taking up a cheaper fare at a different time, if their business schedule allows it.
