I just did try, and got an incredible quote for DTW-IST roundtrip for only $638. Funny thing is that when you go to the web sites it tells at the end gives twice the price. Seems like a joke. It does not really link to an actual sales opportunity.

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
What do you mean? I can book a flight from the US to Rome, Italy.
Only supports flights originating from US and Canada at the moment. Destination can be anywhere in the world.
Ah, I see. Strange it can only go one way (especially since it can book international round-trip flights).

#23Wow, just wow. I didn't know that I could apartment shop for this cheap. January just got more exciting.
Re: Google Flights
#24Looks great; but doesn't support trips originating in australia... wtf
Why would anyone ever want to leave Australia? (Jokes the Aussie with the travel startup.)
Just looked at your travel website. Very interesting. I'm also in Australia with an interest in the combo of travel & start-up. What exactly is it that you start up does?

#25It's okay, but it's no Hipmunk.
Actually it's much better than hipmunk. I used to be a fanatic user of hipmunk. But once I tried google flights i immediately was amazed by its speed, browsing different dates is super fast and easy.
Re: Google Flights
#26Any comparisons to that one YC-funded company (Hipmunk or something)?
Re: Google Flights
#27You may not get the best deal/least troublesome flight from here. Well, at least for international flights.
I was trying to book a flight from Chicago->Seoul, and the options showed at least $2000 for the cheapest flight, which involved a 33hr total journey through China and Japan. I then asked my Korean friends, who recommended a travel agent and they got me a $1700 ticket with only 17hrs direct flight

#28I'm a big fan of https://www.google.com/flights/explorer , since it gives me an immediate picture of how far in advance I should book to get the lowest prices.
WOW I did not know about it, looks awesome! Thanks for sharing.

#29It's okay, but it's no Hipmunk.
Sort by agony, LOL! I like the time charts, too. Thanks. I didn't know about Hipmunk. I have been using mostly Kayak and, more recently, Google.
I like Hipmunk's interface better than Kayak's, but Kayak seems to have better data: there are sometimes good fares that appear in Kayak but not Hipmunk, while I haven't found the reverse to be true yet.
