Some travel planning tools with Netvibes


This week, our widget selection is 100% travel oriented. From locating a destination to organizing your trip, find the best prices for a flight + hotel room or car rental.

No idea where to go? See Concierge.com with more than 200 destination covered you sure won’t be left short of choices. Want the best price for your trip? Several travel sites and price comparison services have built handy widgets that allow users to start their search directly. Big names include: Travelocity, Expedia (for US flights & hotels, try this one), CheapOair, Lastminute…to name a few.

Ok so you know where you’re jetting, but where do you stay? Let the Compare Hotels Price widget do the search for you. Don’t know if you need a visa to visit a country? Thank the Travel Visa Requirements widget for this one where you’ll promptly find whether one is needed, how to apply and process time.

Road tripping around Europe? Use the Tomtom HD widget for instant traffic info in 5 countries, updated every 3 minutes! And when you finally arrived at your destination, think about i-Metro! This service provides a universal route calculator that covers subway transportation, tram & bus systems for 250 cities around the world.

    You forgot to mention Mobissimo. It’s the best way to get the whole picture on international flights.

    I would like to add the site http://www.kayak.com – I used it the last time I traveled and it returned very good Hotel prices from various Hotel Search sites! Give a try!!!

    o yes the kayak site is very useful.

    I agree with Christian and gocompare: Kayak would really be a nice addition. These tools are great also, by the way!

    Got it working, but now for one of my trips its displaying the lay-over as the destination, rather than the final destination!
