PC Magazine listed Yapta as one of their ten favorite:

We put together a list of our favorite air-travel sites to help you plan your journey. Most of them are aggregated ticket searches, meaning they crawl lots of different sites for data, from airline Web sites to other travel sites, such as Orbitz, and then present you with a huge list of results that you can narrow down according to your preferences. Almost all of them include hotel and car rental searches as well.

We also threw in a couple of other sites that can make your trip smoother. Once you’ve found your perfect flight, let SeatGuru help you find the most comfortable seat on the plane. And after you’ve made your purchase, enter your flight info and ticket price into Yapta. If the price goes down later, Yapta will send you an e-mail so you can call the airline for a refund or voucher.

Test Results

If you’re interested in searching strictly on price, take a look at our price comparison table . We compare the prices for two flights on 18 different search services, tracking the prices and the number of available flights on each service. For flights that are more than a month away, the price differences were minimal, but some of the sites (especially the big ones like Expedia and Hotwire) can save you money on next-weekend trips. And the number of available flights varied widely between services, so if you want more flight options, some services will be better than others.
