thetrip.com is touting the new intellitrip as the greatest thing since sliced bread with a "Launch Party [that] Rocks SF" -- www.intellitrip.thetrip.com

i'd have to say that i've been extrememly disappointed with the beta test, and now with the real-time version. it seems to be a worthless product if you don't happen to flying on one of its very limited "partners".

i just experimented with a flight from gulfport to orlando that i'll be taking next week. i wanted a northwest flight to take advantage of the "free companion ticket" promotion they are having. intellitrip came back with one available flight -- on delta. according to their press release, northwest is not even expected to be one of their partners.

i think this product needs a lot more work to be useful to anybody. in defense of it, however, i did experiment with it last week and found that it showed a usair "internet-only" fare that no other utility would show, so it does have that potential.
