1. BBC travel’s geoguessr.

It is pretty challenging time to time. This game uses google map and it is showing you basically a picture of a google street view and you must point in map where this picture is taken. Sometimes you can really test your knowledge, but most of the time you can guess where it is by many things you can see around. So be hawk-eyed and look for clues.

2. Geographyzone.

This game can help you to learn and challenge in the same time. You can choose to challenge yourself in world country or world capital city challenge or challenge yourself in borders of one continent only. The idea is to find and point out given country with the mouse in map. In smaller downer window it will appear the name of the country or capital city you must find.

3. Click-that-hood.

Very similar to Geographyzone only there is more options to choose from and it have more modern look and when you are going on specific place it will show you the right name of the place instead of guessing. So the idea here is to click it as fast as you can. And if you like you can add your city too when you go down of the page.

4. Jetpunk. Countries of the world quiz.

The idea is to write in the box where is written “Enter country’s name here” as much as you can country names. When you write in one country name correct it will disappear and it will colour in green in map where the country is situated. In this game knowing and fast typing helps a lot. Don’t forget that the time is ticking. When the time is done the game is over and it will show you the result. You can check out later other similar games they are offering similar to this one.

Search engine and online travel agent testing.

1. Testing results with rounded prices in euros .
Few of in previous article mentioned
not included doe to different reasons. Click on image to enlarge.

As in previous article mentioned I did test the websites with different parameters like buying international flight 81 day before flight. Secondly I tested belief that flying on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays the price will be much cheaper than flying on Fridays and Sundays.

2. Few options from London to Stockholm
different airports. Click on image to enlarge.

So in picture 1. you can see that there is no cheaper days to fly out so it is pretty false believe. The days sometimes apply to domestic flights, but again most of the time that is not giving good result.

So following only the rule of flying on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays cannot give you cheapest flight. As mentioned in previous article it is good to know that most of the time you will get the cheapest ticket if you are flexible that means you don’t have specific day, time and so on to fly out. So very handy than is to use the sites where it is possible to see the days when it’s cheaper to fly the sites with calendars or similar options where you can see more than one day.

3. One way. Click on image to enlarge.

Don’t forget that when the city you are flying in have more than one airport and you are looking for cheapest travel option it’s important to know from or to which airport is cheaper to fly. In this example it could be that you are buying two one way tickets or multi city ticket and that way have less travel expenses. You can see example in picture 2. But then there is a case which you need to take in mind.

4. Round trip. Click on image to enlarge.

In some cases it’s cheaper when you book round trip than one way tickets even if you are flying to or from different airports as you can see it in example pictures 3., 4. So checking that can save you money. But it’s important not to forget when finding a much cheaper option you should count the end cost like transportation to and from airport and then ask yourself is it still cheap.
