Had drinks last night with Oscar Frias and Daniel Katime, the two founders of Trabber.com.

They’ve built a cool, simple website that is a real-time search engine for flights. Very clean and easy to use, it delivers good results. They originally caught my attention among the list of companies in the WebDosBeta conference.

Oscar & Daniel have bootstrapped Trabber in their spare time while holding down full-time jobs. In addition to good techical performance and a clean UI, I like the way they’ve managed to incorporate community elements like forums and a blog to stay in touch with their users.

Their space is very competitive in the US, but I haven’t really seen the American players localizing for European audiences. And there don’t seem to be many European startups in this area (I think Mobissimo was originally French, but as soon as they were funded they headed stateside) So there’s a real opportunity for Trabber to take on the Mobissimo/Kayak/SideStep role in Europe.

Good guys. Always fun to meet with local entrepreneurs working hard to create something new and innovative. Hope they can take it to the next level.
