travel websites, but without the bias. We are introducing fares and
booking to our online service as a direct result of customer feedback.
Our subscribers love the completeness and simplicity of OAG Flights, and
want the ability to book as well.  We already use SideStep to power
bookings on our hosted timetable solutions for airports and we are
delighted to extend our partnership to offer our business and leisure
travel customers the most comprehensive flight search on the web.”

Tim Simmonds, Director of Business Development, Europe, said,
“SideStep’s innovative real-time search technology further enhances
OAG’s current online experience for travellers and those who arrange
travel.  OAG Flights customers now have the ability to compare fares
from more than 200 leading travel sites via SideStep’s search engine to
find the Web’s best travel bargains, and then click through to make a
booking directly with the relevant online agency, consolidator or
airline.”
