Have you already used Yahoo! Travel while arranging your vacation or business trip? And what about Yahoo upgraded travel service? If so then you must have already appreciated all its handy travel-specific features and its advantages. But if not my kind advice is to try it the next time you will be going to travel anywhere because Yahoo! Travel lets you:

• Research 500,000 places to stay and things to do in over 40,000 cities worldwide with candid user reviews, photos, maps and more.
• Ask questions and swap travel stories on the message boards.
• Save your favorite places into a custom trip plan.
• Get great travel deals.

Even searching in Yahoo Central Search Site for in phrases like “flights to Miami” or “compare Miami hotels” a user will get a shortcut of Yahoo! FareChase (a new feature of Yahoo Travel) above the organic search results.

In order for you to make an idea what Yahoo! FareChase is and how could you benefit from using it I will quote Yahoo!’s official description of this new feature:

Yahoo! FareChase is a web-based travel search engine designed to help you locate the best airfares and hotel rates on the Internet. Yahoo! FareChase is not a travel agency, it is a search engine designed to save you both time and money by providing you with comparison shopping options from travel providers and other popular travel websites. When you’re ready to book, Yahoo! FareChase displays the travel provider’s website so you can make your purchase directly on the travel provider’s site.

And what is more, Yahoo! Encourages visitors to publish online travel journals and recommendations to help others plan their flights, vacations and trips.

Yahoo’s travel site at http://travel.yahoo.com got traffic of 15.75 million visitors during February, according to Internet traffic research firm comScore Networks. Does it covey anything to your mind?
