This is really, really good! Prepare for acquisition offers in weeks :D A feature I'd love to see, which I haven't seen anywhere, is filtering by day of week. I want to search for 3 day holidays that start on a Friday, for example.

Haha thanks Gambetta! :)

Allright, we'll think about how to implement that one!

Looks great. Will definitely try and give it a spin. How are you planning on monetizing it? Just curious, as I've been toying with an idea like this but only for weekend trips < $500 for 1-2 people. I kind of hit a brick wall though, because I couldn't figure out how to automate and monetize it since you can't book flights on behalf of another person and most hotels/airlines don't offer (simple) affiliate programs or decent APIs.

This is great; you should be proud! - There's a slight CSS issue on buttons not clearing text: http://imgur.com/a/FVvj8 - As I've entered my area, it would be useful if the "from airport" on the result page would default to "area airports" - I'd like a map view of the destinations - I'd like to be able to filter the lodging accommodations based on stars and type (personal home, BnB, hotel) as there are some regions i…

> - I'd like a map view of the destinations I'm normally a huge map fan, but I actually like it the way it is, without a map. I had this cool moment where I thought, "It doesn't matter where in the world it is, as long as it is under your budget." I haven't figured out how to pass all the menus after clicking a destination. I typed in an airport and clicked Search Flights, but it complains that I haven't entered date…

Hi! Wanted to let you know that we fixed the airport bug! It should work as supposed now! :D

Hi guys! My brother and I would like to show you what we have been working on for the past 6 months. What started out as a little project to learn to code together has become a full-fledged travel tool to discover destinations you wouldn't directly think of. It's called DESTIGOGO :) We are curious about what you think and happy to answer any questions you have!

I really want this... but its pretty broken atm. 1) Images are comically wrong. One "whoa" hit for me was "the blue mountains" in Canada, but the photo is from BANF, 3500 KM away and much more expensive. This makes me doubt all of the images, which makes the whole site somewhat useless. 2) Needs current temps instead of average. Current implementation has quirks like sending you to Winnipeg for sun. 3) Can't book/fin…

Hello, I tried looking at an example trip, and when I asked it to show flights it popped up an error saying I needed to input the dates of the flight. There does not seem to be any field to pick the date in, though?

Definitely cool for ideas. However I assume you are trying to monetize by getting me to buy hotels and flights through your site, which is not easy right now. I actually think I will use this, for spring break or something. Just some initial feedback: 1) I want to specify an airport / dates before searching. I live in the DC area where there are 3 different airports prices could be from, but only like to fly out of o…

Am I missing where to put in depart/return dates? I want to try to search for flights, but I keep getting that error message and I can't for the life of me find where to enter in my dates! Great looking aggregator otherwise.
