Ask HN: How did Hipmunk integrate AirBnB rentals?

3 points by njstartups ↗ HN
If you check out Hipmunk's hotel search you'll notice that not only do they feature hotels but they also feature AirBnB rentals. How did they do that?

They are both YC companies so I am pretty sure they know each other.

Same way other (orbitz, kayak etc) do it. There is very little money in airline ticket sale cuts. A much bigger market and ultimately how these companies make a majority of their money is thru hotels.
