Oh, so many ways.

Flights: Just type in your origin, your destination, and a departure date (and a return date if you're flying round-trip). You can enter details in any order and format. Don't know an airport code? Just enter the city name. Tripeedo's smart.

Hotels: Type in your destination city and your travel dates. If you're booking more than one room, just tell Tripeedo how many you need.

Car rentals: Type in your destination city and your travel dates. If you're booking more than one room, just tell Tripeedo how many you need.

• keep it simple: avoid unnecessary words.
• enter the important details first: eg, travel dates and airports
• you can use flags like to, from to clarify your origin and destination
• punctuation doesn't help. words and spaces are enough.
• we ignore capitalization
• we can handle dates in a lot of formats, like...
  
  • 3-4
  • march 4-14
  • march 4 to 14
  • 3/4-14
  • 3/4 for 10 days
  • mar 4 10 days
• use digits for dates. "3/10" is good, "march tenth" is not.
• be brief. use 'june 1' instead of 'june 1st'.
