consider to be better are displayed higher while options considered worse are displayed
lower. Which option is better and which is worse is determined by a formula based on the
combination of price (lower price is considered better than a higher price), duration
(shorter carriage is better than longer carriage), means of transport (ground transport
is considered better than air transport) and a number of passengers. You may change the
default ranking of search results to any of the available options. In that case, the
search results are ranked according to the selected parameter such as price or duration.
