Brilliant!

I was just asking about that! http://travel.stackexchange.com/q/11620/

I hope you have plans for implementing it in Europe sometime!

Hmm...It did not work for me. It says flight from New York to Orlando is just $128 but when I clicked to buy it - it sent me to Kayak and it was $210.

Great idea tho...

Isn't it obvious that the departure locations need to be sorted? Or do people who want to go somewhere now not care from where they leave?

Pretty sure "wanna get away" is trademarked by Southwest Airlines.

Overall, great layout.

Is this really a common use-case? When I travel it's always driven by the "where" not by the "now"...

Common enough to make a living off it. There are times when I want to take a big planned out vacation. There are other times where I just want to sit on a beach for 4 days, and really any beach will do.

Great idea, nicely executed.

It seems that the price estimates are only for the flight costs (and not for lodging costs) - I was confused about this a little.

I would love to see something similar for lodging costs as well.

Nice idea, but nooo contact information, nor an about page reachable from the landing page?
