Show HN: Book and change flights with one email

TLDR; I built an inbox simulator so you can try BonBook in 15s, without sharing your email.

Earlier this year I was flying 2-3 times per month and found booking and changing flights a hassle. So I decided to fix it.

BonBook lets you find, book and change flights with one email. It can also auto-find flights for events you’re attending.

Over the last few days, I built a simulator that lets you interact with BonBook without sharing your email. It responds with real flights and each response includes a link to compare w/ Google.

Was on a flight last week that was on the tarmac for two hours due to weather one evening last week; the pilot finally got on the PA system and announced we were headed back to the terminal. I booked myself a new flight for the next morning within 90 seconds. Pure magic.

One piece of feedback:

I asked for a "flight from LAX to..." and it recommended flights from SNA and ONT (two other airports in the Greater Los Angeles area). These airports are easily 1.5 - 2 hours away from LAX at commute times.

I suggest that, if the user requests a specific airport (as indicated by an IATA code), you limit responses to that airport code by default, rather than broadening the search to a region.

If I had asked for a "flight from Los Angeles to..." I would not have been surprised by the current behavior (and probably would have appreciated it.)
