Since I live in Arkansas, I thought I'd try to "book" a flight home for the Christmas vacation. Apparently flexible dates are not an option since both the Rochester and Little Rock airports are small. I couldn't remember the three letter designation for the LR airport, but expedia is smart in that regard and helps out by showing potential airports as you type. It found flights, but for reasons I don't entirely understand, the price price ends up significantly more than advertised.
As far as layout and aesthetic is concerned, I don't really have any complaints. I found browsing straightforward...until I tried to use the browser's back button. For some reason, it won't let you browse back to the home screen once you have started your first search.
I also thought I would try out travelocity, and immediately managed to find a trip within the acceptable time window for nearly 300 dollars cheaper. I have no doubts that expedia would have found the same trip with (alot) more tweaking of the search parameters, but its tools are not nearly as complete or easy to use.
