Cut the Costa! is a comprehensive flights database that enables finding a flight to any airport worldwide; simply enter the departure and destination airports, and it will show the relevant airlines flying that route.
The creator, Faye O'Neill, is determined to promote the Linux and Mac versions of the program alongside Windows. This decision was driven by the fact that a considerable proportion of their website visitors use Linux and Mac. The conversion from Windows to Linux and Mac was a breeze and took only about 30 minutes. They're unsure why other companies do not release their programs simultaneously on both platforms. Consequently, not releasing to Linux and Mac would make no sense!
The program's search method is exceptionally quick, and results are displayed while you type. It allows you to find alternative, more affordable places to book your flights easily. For instance, in the UK, MyTravel or FirstChoice is a popular choice when searching for cheaper flights. With CutTheCosta, however, there are an additional seven airlines to choose from!
The program's interface is incredibly user-friendly; you merely input your flight's destination and starting point. The program will display all the airlines that service that particular route. Clicking on the operator icon will direct you to their website.
One bonus feature of the program is the 'find connections' button. It allows you to locate extra routes that are made up of two others, which may be useful.
CutTheCosta.com is available to download now from www.CutTheCosta.com. It is updated regularly and straightforward to use. The website aims to be the world's number one information database for budget flights, so it couldn't be any easier.
