MSN is committed to delivering innovative content to its loyal customers, and we look forward to being a part of its growing travel channel."

In addition to free airfare predictions, MSN Travel users will be able to access Farecast's travel planning tools helping them to make decisions such as when and where they should travel, where they can afford to travel on their budget, and the best airfare deals from their home airport.

"Farecast is changing the way consumers shop for airfare by helping them answer the difficult question, 'Should I buy now or wait?' when shopping for an airfare," said Jeff Dossett, executive producer and general manager at MSN. "Integrating Farecast's unique airfare predictions and tools is part of our overall strategy to build out a rich set of innovative and differentiated content and services in travel and across all channels on the MSN media network."
