U.S. - A new blog aims to
make airline travel less of a headache for passengers by providing insider
advice about how international fares and flights work, Fareboom.com CEO Marko
Cadez announced.
The Fareboom Advisor blog
is the latest travel project by Cadez, who's also a former correspondent for
CNN International World Report. After leaving journalism, he used both his
investigative skills and in-depth knowledge of airfares to develop an online
travel agency - Fareboom.com - that uses unique algorithms to help travelers
book the right flight for their situation.
"I've logged
countless hours on flights as both a business traveler and a reporter,"
said Cadez. "But the average person doesn't have all that flight time
under their belt. Airline travel is tough and it's easy to make mistakes.
That's why I hope our Fareboom Advisor blog will help people make informed
decisions."
The new blog provides
in-depth information and advice designed to make air travel easier and less
expensive for passengers. Here's a sample of the articles on Fareboom Advisor:

The Fareboom Advisor blog
arrives as surveys continue to illustrate passengers' dissatisfaction with
airlines. The American Customer Satisfaction Index, released in July, reported
that "air travel remains a rather uncomfortable and costly experience for
most passengers."
Although travelers rated
airlines 3% higher than in the previous satisfaction index, only two of the 43
other industries included in the survey had lower levels of customer
satisfaction.
