iPad Free App of the Week: Hipmunk

Hipmunk, the flight search website that claims to take the agony out of buying flights online, has brought its unique technology to the iPad and iPhone.

The company adapted its easy-to-read grid schedule of flights and adapted it for iOS. This gives customers all the same features as the parent site, including the ability to check details and buy.

New features on the app include the ability to email flight links. Users can also request a code from the app that allows them to return to their basket on their computer rather than finalizing a booking via their phone.

After you've selected a flight you are directed to the website where the deal was found (either the airline's site or a travel site like Orbitz or Expedia) so you can complete your purchase.

The app, which was released on Tuesday (February 22), is just he latest in making your travel easier from Hipmunk.
