What is RSS?
RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' Put simply it allows you identify websites or content you like and have it delivered directly to you.

With so many sites and pages on the web, finding the information you want can sometimes be difficult. With RSS you can get the latest news, features, offers or whatever interests you delivered directly to your PC without having to browse from site to site looking for information.

For example on the Just the Flight site, you might be interested in finding the cheapest flight deals to a particular destination from your local airport or maybe look out for special offers or last minute flight deals. We believe we're one of the first flight websites to offer this service.

How do I start using RSS?
The first thing you need is a news reader. There are all sorts of different versions, some of which are accessed via a web browser but more commonly they come as a free downloadable application. All allow you to view and subscribe to the RSS feeds you're interested in.

After you've clicked on the orange button, you'll be taken to a page that probably won't mean anything to you but it will to your RSS reader!
