InsideTrip has announced the public beta launch of its online travel shopping site, which not only offers the best prices, but also the ability to search by "TripQuality" rating.

InsideTrip.com aims to offer online travel shoppers the lowest airfare while helping them regain control of their travel experience through a truly unique search experience with personalised comfort rating score and easy to read visual itinerary bar.

InsideTrip.com helps consumers in making the smartest travel purchase decision possible, according to the company. It added that InsideTrip's patent pending shopping technology is the first to address today's travel pain points such as cramped leg room, unpredictable security wait times, lost luggage, crowded planes, and much more, allowing consumers to regain control of their travel experience.

"The future of online travel search is making the overall "TripQuality" rating transparent to the traveler; matching the shopping process with the realities of today's often painful travel experience," said Dave Pelter, founder and CEO of InsideTrip, Inc.

"Travelers have been asking for a resource that helps them weed through the hundreds of airfare listings and InsideTrip visually shows that each trip is different and helps consumers quickly determine the perfect trip by directly searching the features most important to them. The fact is, real product differences exist -- with the best flight options offering more leg room, on-time schedules, new planes and other amenities that simply offer a better experience," said Pelter.

With each flight search, InsideTrip.com instantly provides a TripQuality rating that takes into account relevant travel needs such as leg room, security wait time, aircraft age, on-time performance etc.

In addition, if a specific flight itinerary is within 5% of the lowest price and holds a TripQuality score of over 85, a QualityPick icon will flag the itinerary as being a value-packed deal for the shopper.

To create its proprietary algorithms for the TripQuality rating, InsideTrip aggregates large amounts of data instantaneously from numerous public and proprietary sources to accommodate virtually any consumer search for airfare. With new and better information, online travel shoppers are able to save time, avoid travel aggravations and make the smartest purchase decision possible, according to the company.

The new technology and concept is currently patent pending.

"InsideTrip.com understands that what most consumers want today is an easy to navigate, dependable airfare shopping experience that allows them to find the best prices. Some travel search sites focus on price comparison across supplier sites, but InsideTrip believes that with general price parity across the market, what's truly significant are the tools that make the airfare shopping experience easy, relevant and personal for each shopper, in addition to having the best prices," stated a release.

InsideTrip.com currently partners with Orbitz.com for its airfare search based on its top quality, best prices and dependable customer care offerings.
