#2Just made a quick try, and booy what such a good idea ! Question : I am french, and so filled Home with Paris, and destination with Los Angeles. I am getting fantastic prices, but only in the sense US -> FR. The service is only available for the US then ?

Thanks for trying it out and the feedback! It's available for any destination in the world. 'Home' is just the airport that you're starting out from and returning to. So for example, if you're in Paris and want to visit LA, New York and Miami it'll find the best way to go from Paris -> LA -> NY -> Miami -> Paris. Where LA, NY, Miami will be in the cheapest order. Or you could enter for destinations like, Beijing, Bangkok and Singapore.

#4my dad has been working out, and using the cheapest flight from A to B for over 50 years. And he's still very good at it. If you gave him an option to say "I want to get from A to B for the best price, I don't care much about the route, and I want it to take X days, suggest something to me" I'm sure he would be interested.

#5I thought of an airline that just flies you past the city you want to go to and you just jump when it's your stop.

#6Really good idea!
But maybe think about replacing the 4MB background video with a static image or something. It felt a bit overpowering for me (moves too fast) and it also doesn't scale right with the viewport leaving white text on a white background.

Thank you, we'll look for alternatives on the video ha :) Our mobile view also is a bit confusing at the moment so trying to make that look a bit better too!

#8>Something went wrong!
Please pick destinations from the auto-suggest by clicking on the suggestion as you type.
I've entered London Heathrow, United Kingdom as my Home, and Wroclaw, Poland as a destination, Number of days: 1, Start Date: 2017/05/02.
What am I doing wrong here?

#9No idea what I'm doing wrong, but I consistently get:
Something went wrong!
No valid route could be found
for these destinations, please
try another destination.Re: Show HN: Cheaper flights when flying multiple destinations by route optimisation

You need to make sure you pick a destination from the suggestion box (click on it), enter the number of days for each destination and click the '-' button if you're not using one of the destination fields. Sorry if that's a bit confusing, currently improving that so it's a little bit more lenient :)
EDIT: We're pushing out a fix now that should resolve this, you can now have empty fields for destinations and it'll just include the filled out ones.
