A popular way to save on airfare is to book a flight with a lowcost carrier. If you’re unsure which ones have the cheapest tickets, you can head on to sites like Expedia, Orbitz and CheapFlights and you just might find what you’re looking for. Problem is, these sites don’t have everything. Individual airline carriers nowadays don’t always advertise their deals with cost comparison websites. For these companies – and understandably so – the idea of losing sales to competitors is not particularly savory.

Enter JetRadar, a cool startup that essentially combs through every travel site, ticketing site and all 728 individual airline sites, and makes results available in one place for public consumption. Basically, what JetRadar hopes to do is become a one-stop portal for everything cheap, cheaper and cheapest in the air fare arena.
