Comment on Tripfab launches to eliminate the travel middleman.

Hi Michael, your site looks pretty slick. Reminds me of airbnb a bit.

The way I understand your marketing pitch, you hate expedia and are going to undercut their prices. I compared one of the top hotels you list in la fortuna with expedia's rates and they are matching tripfab. Seems like their cancellation terms are more lenient also.

Actually, the rooms are shown twice and they could actually be beating your rate, hard to tell. When I tried to proceed to get the tax breakdown I got an error page.

Expedia has a lowest rate guarantee, so how can anyone really hope to undercut them any way?
