�We�re honored to have earned a top-20 Hitwise ranking and our steady climb over the past year is evidence that the aggregator trend has taken hold with consumers,� said Hugo Burge, president of Cheapflights.com. �We�ve built great momentum with the addition of discount business class fares and our myriad of unique travel relationships, and look forward to rising further up the charts in 2005.�

The performance caps a meteoric rise for Boston-based Cheapflights, which was ranked no. 52 in February, moved to no. 37 in July and entered the top 25 three months later. The company entered the top 20 in the Travel Agency category during the week of Nov. 15 and currently stands at no. 20 in that area, beating out competitors such as Kayak (no.73), Mobissimo (no.78 ) and Yahoo Farechase (no. 87).

Cheapflights.com gives consumers access to deals from hundreds of consolidators, specialists and airlines, providing the most comprehensive list of options for getting the cheapest airfare. With no software to download, fares from low fare carriers Southwest and JetBlue, and the ability to search Hotwire, Priceline, Travelocity and Orbitz, the site is a must-see before booking any trip.

Consumers also benefit from Cheapflights.com�s phone listings, which give travelers access to discount fares other than those that can be purchased on the Web. And, the site offers useful links to key information on alternate and nearby airports and specialist agents that know the tricks and strategies to save money for travelers.

Cheapflights.com, Boston, draws from its relationship with Cheapflights.co.uk, its sister site and the first travel aggregator back in 1996. The U.K. site offers deals from Ryanair and easyJet, charter flights and London-based discounters not available elsewhere.
