A wiser way to book a flight

PLENTY of websites search the airlines of the world for the best fare deals. You provide your desired route and dates; they return prices and flight durations. But InsideTrip offers something extra. It lists prices and durations, but also gives each flight a score based on an analysis of 12 criteria, including punctuality, aircraft age and the reliability of the luggage service.

You can rank the flights by price, duration and score. And you can also play with the factors behind the score, so that it reflects just those criteria that are relevant to you. For example, if you're travelling with carry-on baggage only, the reliability of the luggage service becomes unimportant. Armed with this extra information, you might choose to pay slightly more for a flight that scores more highly than its competitors. Definitely worth a look.

It's not the cheapest, but have a play. The flight I booked for July is more expensive here (on TG) but considerably cheaper on Japan Airlines.
