This is nice and almost perfect, the only improvement I would like is to change the metrices, I live in South Africa and it would be very nice if I could see my prices in ZAR (South African Rands) and my Temperature in Degrees Celcius, apart from that, great site, planning a trip in March for my birthday and definitely will be using this :)

Cool idea. A few issues: 1.) The flight section of the /destinations/ page asks me to select a departure and return date, but lacks the field to do that. It also needlessly asks for my home airport again. 2.) The exclude regions function seems to think that Turkey is in Europe. 3.) Finland, Georgia, Russia, Poland, Canada, Colorado, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Utah are not "sunny" destinations in January. Edit: added…

Thank you! Thanks for all your feedback! 1) We need to fix the issue of not showing date-input-fields before a proper airport is selected. 2) Ah that's true - I guess the west part of Turkey is in Europe (note: not EU) whereas the bigger eastern part indeed is in Asia. 3) True, haha, temperatures are yearly averages at this moment. Will be current temperatures in the near future :)

#3 even if you use yearly average temperature (which is a terrible metric), why would you put a 45F destination under the sunny category?

Great work!

My feedback:

1)Some images don't belong to the destinations, see for example: Tsilivi from Greece

2)Add reviews / comments - in this way you'll have new content on your site (good for seo)

3)Create unique title, meta title and meta description for each destination
Right now I'm looking to Capri, Italy, but the search engines don't know it because the title is DESTIGOGO and there's no meta data.

This is very important for SEO.

4) If after a week your website traffic is still growing, you should consider an investment in mobile apps.

Good luck!
