Lessno’s efforts to deliver better airfare deals at lowest prices has been recognized by Chicago Tribune in this weekend’s edition. Thanks to all our customers who shop with us! :-)

Lessno, which is derived from “less money, no hassle,” bills itself as an online travel agency that provides wholesale airline ticket prices to the retail consumer (a.k.a. you and me).

Since I received this video a zillion times already, I decided that ok, it is high time to institutionalize it by placing it in this blog.

Why people from Netherland are always so creative when it comes to fun and leisure?
