Hipmunk: Compare Flights, Hotels & Alternatives

Compare flight, hotel, and alternative accommodation options on a timeline, making it easy to see pricing and schedule information at a glance.

What is Hipmunk?

Hipmunk is an online travel site and mobile application launched in 2010 that aims to make trip planning and booking fast and easy. Its key feature is its intuitive display of flight, hotel, hostel, vacation rental, and other travel options on a timeline view, allowing users to easily compare prices, schedules, durations, and other key details at a glance.

Hipmunk gets its data from hundreds of travel sites and sorts all the options based on price, duration, number of stops, and other filters. It then clearly displays the different options on its signature timeline view, with cheaper or faster options higher up. Users can easily customize filters to suit their budget and schedule.

Beyond the innovative timeline display for flights and accommodations, Hipmunk also provides useful planning features like local destination guides, a clever “Agony” score that combines price, duration, and stops into one metric, and the ability to save and organize trips. It also offers flexible date search and price alerts.

While it started as a U.S.-focused flight and hotel search site, Hipmunk has expanded over the years to cover more destinations and types of travel accommodation globally. Its mobile apps make on-the-go travel planning highly convenient as well.

Hipmunk aims to take the frustration out of travel planning. Its innovative timeline view and suite of planning tools have earned it praise from numerous travel experts and publications as a top option for flight booking, hotel search, and trip planning.
