"We are thrilled with this surge in the number of Page Impressions and Unique Users. Our ability to display a wide range of travel deals so that viewers can make an informed choice is proving a winning formula. The travel industry is going through quite a difficult time currently so there are masses of bargains to be found in flights, package holidays and accommodation. These offers change every day and consumers understand that it is the Internet, which allows them access to this ever-changing menu of options - rather than traditional media. Travel is now demonstrably the killer application for the Internet, with thousand of sites vying for market share. Cheapflights' tried and tested formula has ensured that since 1996, it has remained a favourite site for British and Irish viewers".
