Launching our first set of user tools: comparison dashboards for air travel

We launched Skift with the promise of developing a media+information+data company aimed at professionals in the travel industry and professional travelers.

A month later, as we continue to keep our heads down and build on that promise, we’re launching our first set of user tools, in association with FindTheBest, a data-driven comparison engine. The three tools, accesible though our top navigation under “User Tools” compare:

• Airports
• Airlines
• Frequent Flyer Programs

These tools allow domestic and international travelers to filter listings and compare options side-by-side to make informed decisions about their travel.

This is our first baby-step into tools and services, and expect a lot more in-house and partner tools –like this with FindTheBest — from us in the near future.
