Search functionalities
- Search functionalities of the Website allow you to search amongst transport services of third parties and their combinations.
- The displayed search results depend on your input and choices made via the Website Interface within defined parameters.
- By default, we rank search results from best, meaning that transport options that we consider to be better are displayed higher while options considered worse are displayed lower. Which option is better and which is worse is determined by a formula based on the combination of price (lower price is considered better than a higher price), duration (shorter carriage is better than longer carriage), means of transport (ground transport is considered better than air transport) and a number of passengers. You may change the default ranking of search results to any of the available options. In that case, the search results are ranked according to the selected parameter such as price or duration.
