(PRWEB) August 18, 2003 -- Since people usually think of travel destinations as points on a map and flight dates as numbers on a calendar page, planning a trip can be a problem with fill in the blanks" forms used by typical online travel services, especially when traveling to unfamiliar destinations or to more than one city. A lot of times you cannot see what airport is closest to your final destination. A new programmed web page map enables one to point and click on airport locations which serve travel origin and destinations and click a button to display calendar panels to set travel dates.
Click-Map.com, an independent web page applications developer, has developed a scrollable map showing commercial airport locations throughout continental North America, Hawaii and the Caribbean. Moving your mouse over these locations displays the city name and airport code. Clicking on the airports serving your home town and your destinations lays out your trip over the map as dots with connecting lines.
Then click a button which displays a row of calendar panels, one for each from-to line" of your trip. Two calendars side-by-side for a typical round trip, three if you your itinerary includes two cities. You can easily set your flight dates by days of the week. Specify how many passengers, cabin class, etc., then click the search-for-flights button.
Flight information and online ticketing is provided by OneTravel.com, which offers competitive fares and flight choices.
