Hi everyone,

Am a newbie in RoR. I want to develop a rails app, which could search  
flight info from my rails app, fetch the flight informations from  
various airlines sites(for example; airasia and malaysia airlines).  
display those results back in my rails app.  
My search module should include the following textfields:

From: Kuala Lumpur  
To: Dubai  
Departure Date:2/11/2009  
Return date: 19/11/2009  
Departure Time: 12:00  
Number of tickets: 2

user gets to enter the information above on my site and  
a script should search flights according to that information on  
various airlines sites and  
display the results with the tag of which airlines is providing this  
flight.

Can either use “Scrapi” or “Scrubyt”

can anyone offer an assistance?

Thanks,  
Hassan
