This is really cool! I've been toying with a similar idea recently, but using Google's flight API + some fancy scraping bots paired with AirBnB.

A few notes:

1. no hotels are loading for me (tried a few diff locations and tried with ad blocker disabled as well)

2. the results are kind of overwhelming (way too many options--feels like a typical travel site)

How do you plan to monetize this?

Interesting idea. When I tried to use it, it said I had to set my budget between 400-50,000? I thought I could set whatever price I wanted?

This was a compromise to allow people to actually see results. if you were to set your max budget at 0$, you would receive no results.

Ah, I see. I would suggest allowing lower fees. For example, many weekend breaks from the UK to Europe can be done for under £250, so if I search with that in mind and can't move any further, it's a bit jarring.

Your suggestion was taken :) Going to lower the min budget to 250 USD.

Thanks!

Interesting - how do you intend to monetise this?

Also, your terms seem to cut off at the 'contact' section on my desktop.

Happy to chat anything re TravelTech. I previously worked at Skyscanner and am now at Amadeus. Email in bio!

Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix it :)

I'll email you.

I was messing around with Amadeus and Skyscanner APIs the other week for a travel service I recently started. How do the technical set ups of both companies compare?
