    Recommend using service like clerk to make signup/in easy. ( https://clerk.com/pricing ). Free for first 10k users.

    No, never got email. Auto-marking words makes more sense.

    This is a great, and b/c pulling from podcasts, can handle hard languages (eg. Hungarian). Smart. Some thoughts: - Buttons to click thru examples for words, waiting is slow - Parti…

    BonBook optimizes for efficiency. What's your use case?

    Maybe; BonBook never will.

    Appreciate the context. That's the plan, cheers.

    Beta turns booking into two clicks.

    Beta (and sim) intentionally does not search them.

    The sim has limited ability to make it lightweight, free from signup and responsive in ~15 seconds. Beta is much more capable. GFlights is not used, link is there for comparison.

    Depends on the detail. There are a few simple ones (eg flightlab).

    Yes, this is a bit more complicated but on the roadmap. Great suggestion.

    Yes, the internet did in fact drop the ball. Fix is live.

    We had a bug with one of our external provides earier this morning, but its now resolved.

    The beta is email-based booking, changes and more. The demo simulates the search experience via email.

    Checkout link in beta provides details. But you can request both :)

    Hi HN: Looks like LLM API calls started being rejected. Working on a solution...

    Can't handle multi-date (yet).

    Noted re the EU. Though there's another side to it as well. BonBook does more than just booking (eg. one-email changes) and many budget airlines make this difficult with their rest…

    Thanks. Definitely more complicate than originally imagined. A lot of this can be done automatically with time (eg, already built an auto-seat algo), but there is a reason the beta…

    Can share a bit of background: (TLDR; airlines want to keep more profit so are witholding some fares.) A system called GDS (Global Distribution System) was built in the 60s as a da…

    Comment #42315406

    Yes, the demo doesn't localize results. And Beta doesn't have currency support just yet but it's on the list. Beyond the price differences, airlines also grant scoped 'ticketing au…

    Calling it 'scheduled booking'. It's on the roadmap :)

    Worth noting: if you don't specify a time of day in your search, you will see the cheapest flight on that day. Bots can analyze several thousand flight options (which even the sim …
