Travelocity answers its customers' call for more do-it-yourself deal searching and adds a travel deals tool kit loaded with interactivity and customization.

WHAT'S HOT: I liked the interactive map a lot, but I had the most fun when I rolled up my sleeves and started using the customizable tool kit. You can flip between flight deals and vacation packages and click between travel destination themes, such as romance, world and beach. Even better, you can drag your favorite results into a box and compare them later or share with your social network on Twitter or Facebook. The features look pretty and led me to several vacations that offered savings of 25 percent.

WHAT'S NOT: The new features are not easy to find if you're just cruising in through the home page. You need to know where to look for them. Go to the "Travel Deals" tab and scroll down until you see "Travelocity's Deal Toolkit" on the left. From there, jump into "Deals on a Map."
