Hipmunk is undoubtedly the easiest way to search for airline flights via an iPhone. The application, which is free, brings a version of the Web based Hipmunk.com to iOS. Users of the app enter a "From" and "To" location, along with a date, and the application plots a grid of applicable flights. Following this, you can filter results by "Fare Type" and "People."
Hipmunk takes the agony out of flight search. With Hipmunk you'll see all the relevant flights on a timeline, helping you visualize the right choice. Unlike every other app out there, Hipmunk doesn't just show you the cheapest flight first — the app instead sorts by "agony," which incorporates important factors like how long you'll be traveling and how many stops you'll make.The list of results displayed by Hipmunk are ordered by “Agony,” “Cost,” “Depart," and “Length” - meaning users of the app can quickly and easily discover the flight that suits them best. If you often travel by air, you should definitely take a look at Hipmunk in the App Store. It's currently available for free, and is certainly worth downloading. And, if you're already using the application, let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
