Farecast goes for Series C

Farecast, one of the best and my favorite search travel search engine, has stomped home with another round of funding. According to PEHub, Farecast raised $12.1 million in the Series C round of funding led by Sutter Hill Ventures, and joined by existing investors Madrona Venture Group and Greylock Partners. This takes the total funding for Farecast to $20.6 million from its 3 rounds. 

Farecast searches seem to much more effective compared to its competitors ’cause of the ticket price guidance it provides based on historical price data analysis. This feature combined with delivery of persistent search results for ticket prices via RSS can save you time and precious dollars.

Kayak is another startup giving price guidance but without RSS feeds.
