Adioso is a travel search engine that supports broad, open-ended, natural-language queries, built to satisfy the needs of budget-conscious travellers with flexible date & destination options.

Its natural language search interface allows date-flexible and destination-flexible searches, like 'San Francisco to NYC late October', or 'Austin to anywhere under $200 next week'.

It also provides a routing engine that interconnects flights from low-cost airlines to allow budget-conscious travellers to identify the lowest-cost route between any two places domestically or internationally.

Adioso seeks to be the perfect travel search companion for backpackers, vagabonds, nomads, or anyone with an appetite for spontaneous travel.
