Show HN: FlightList – Find cheap, one-way flights within a departure date range

Hello HN,

I built my first side-project, https://www.flightlist.io, for 2 reasons:

1. After my travels in Europe in 2017 I wanted a simpler, minimalist flight booking app tailored to my travel style.

2. To learn Javascript

When I travel I always buy one-way flights and I'm not looking to depart on a specific day, but within a date range. And of course, I look for the best price.

Even though sites like Skyscanner and Google Flights are quite popular and easy to use, I have to enter a specific departure date and then use the Calendar to find other dates which may have cheaper prices.

I just want to enter an origin, destination, date range and get a list of flights, without the frills or ads.

So I built Flightlist and in the process I learned Javascript. Something I had been meaning to do for several years.

I'm looking for your feedback, do you find it useful? Would you use it? What features or data-points would you like to see?

Where do people get access to this flight data? I have interesting travel requirements, to the point that I would probably want to filter the raw data itself, but I thought it was highly locked down?

Cool, just added to Pushbullet to check this out later.

Curious, there are other services that also have search functionality within a date range. When someone creates these flight checker apps, what is unique to each one? Aren’t there only a limited amount of flight data at any given time?

I may have spotted a bug. I am choosing Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) as a departure, but it shows results from WMI too :/

Thank you for letting the From: field be unspecified! I haven't seen a site that lets you do that.
