Proof of Concept

This one's going to be a short post, just an example. Let's say you want to fly from London to San Francisco. Normally, that ticket would be 520+ USD.

Flights from London to SF

However, running an early demo version of our search engine, you find these 3 flights, which add up to 420 USD - 128 USD less than the cheapest flight you'd usually find.

Flight from London to Malaga for 25 USD Round-trip flight from Malaga to SF for 377 USD Flight from Malaga to London for 18 USD

Of course, this is somewhat inconvenient. Although the inbound journey works out to be a bit over 20 hours, the outbound journey takes ages. But, the important thing is, it works! Finding such a deal could take hours if you were doing it manually, but our search engine took 30 seconds. Our next step will be to make times (flight durations, layovers, etc.) a factor in our engine. Currently, only price is considered.
