#22I also built this! I'm using a crawler that searches prices on Google flights. They provide a month overview for all flights prices.

#23site is unusable on mobile (Brave browser)
i see white text with shadows on white background and there are three identical fields for Days, no idea what is their meaning, i guess duration of trip, but not sure why there are three of them

Unfortunately it's displaying very strange in browsers and not preservring the two columns. It's supposed to go destination, duration, destination, duration etc.
Will be releasing a fix for this shortly.

Nice!

#26The "something went wrong" if you don't delete the empty fields is confusing...
I've fixed it now, shouldn't happen anymore!

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's very bizarre that you got an error then! Could you try it again please, oh and make sure to set a date a bit into the future as otherwise might not have as many flights available. Wonderful suggestion :) I'll make it so you can input a different final stop to you're starting point. We want to keep it free and potentially monetise via affiliate sales and show people how much we've saved them, perhaps some would…
Thanks Colin, we have a chat support on there too so we can see what's going on but definitely working now :)
The other question is:
What does this do that Google Flights doesn't do?
I haven't yet seen what it is that makes this different - I feel like I'm missing something.

#29Really 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.
Agreed about the video. To much going on and moving to fast. Slow it down.

If you're flying to multiple destinations it matters which destination you visit first, which one second and so forth. SkySave tells you which route is the cheapest. For example, it can be a lot cheaper to fly London -> New York -> Miami -> Los Angeles -> London than if you were to go to LA first and then Miami. Does that make more sense?
