Trip Lists

Trip lists are the result of clicking on a price, or a row or column label, in the top pane of the "Choose whole trips" display mode -- a list of the options that start at the price listed in the clicked-on cell of the matrix. Trip lists are brief, one-line descriptions of whole trips, without having to look at all the details.

This particular list is sorted by price, so that the cheapest trips appear at the top, getting more expensive as you go down the list. However, you may sort the trip list by any column criteria that you like, simply by clicking on the column header link for that column.

A description of each column of the trip list is given below.

Once you decide a particular trip in the list is worth further investigation, you can click on one of the "details" links on the left to view the details of that trip in all its glory. Here's an explanation of everything you'll see on those pages.
