#2Wow, talk about impressive. Just curious about the tech behind this. Do they just cache a bunch of average prices together between major airports and just set a max limit? Surely it can't do fully comprehensive search at the speed it runs at.

That's my guess.

#4OMG, I've been waiting for someone to build something like this forever.
I've always hated the fact that all major travel sites work based on the assumption that you already know exactly when and where you're going, rather than at least giving you the option to explore your options.

#5Cool. Couple thoughts:
- Are prices one-way or round trip? It's not obvious to me.
- I tried to type a zip code at first, before realizing that it would only work with the City name.

#6Now that's just plain neat. And useful, since I'm currently considering where to go on summer holidays.
I do notice that it doesn't add extra destinations as you zoom in, though. For instance I can zoom in on Colorado as much as I like and it won't tell me that I can fly to Denver (even though there's probably twenty flights a day). Nor will it give me a price for Paris, but Nadi, Chennai and Oaxaca are much higher priorities.

That's my guess.
That would also explain why it only lets you set a month, and not a day.

Based on what the prices look like I'm fairly sure it'd have to be return (or else it's doing a lousy job of finding the best available fares).

#9Neat concept, but where is the data coming from? There is no way that the cheapest flight from Vancouver to Toronto is $460.
Maybe half that.

One way or return?
