Sorry Bing, Adioso (YC W09) still the only natural language flight search tool

Interesting.

I love Adioso but one place it fails me is when I want to search months ahead (which I do quite often). Adioso only seems to be able to return results up to a certain few months ahead, while other sites are able to do it for a much greater range.

Often times I just want to gauge approximate prices and I'm not able to do that currently with Adioso. Is this being worked on?

Even being able to display past trends would be amazing.

As someone noted on the comments of the post, the "flights from SFO to Bos under $300" is a strange query. Why not just search for the cheapest?

It got me thinking though a cool query would be "flights from SFO to (some set of cities) in (some rather large time range) with an unusually low price".

But do they include Southwest Airlines flights? If not who cares? Flight search w/o Southwest flights is like Google search w/o Wikipedia pages in the results.

Adioso needs more links to their product from their blog. :)

Can't seem to get Adioso to recognize Canada's capital city. "NYC to Ottawa" works fine on Bing, though..

Just found out about Adioso. It knows about much more airlines (at least for the region I'm in) than say, Hipmunk, but it then asks to book each leg separately. I wonder if it's ever possible to have integrated flight booking with arbitrage.

Checked out Adioso. The biggest problem is it does not show any instant suggestions for destination names, and its kind of hard to make sure you are typing correctly.

Is there any way to do "JFK to SFO to ORD to JFK"?

adioso can't get me directly to saigon (sgn) from anywhere it seems.

Right now going to the Adioso homepage results in a 'Search Fail!' message and anything I try to search for results in the same.

Funny that this is on Posterous. Haven't they learned that if you're going to bash your competition like this you'd better be able to actually back it up?
