Tiny suggestion: I was looking at flights and it was not immediately clear to me that Santa Cruz referred to Bolivia and not California. It almost made me disregard it and not click. May want to put the country name on the homepage as well.

Santa Cruz, Bolivia (pop. 1,640,615) is much larger than Santa Cruz, CA (pop. 64,465).
While true (also, all the other flights on the list right now are US<->Not US), in GP's defense the context may not have been clear.

If a fellow Angeleno asks me what I did over the weekend, I could say "I went to Venice" and my meaning (Venice, the neighborhood in LA) would be clear. Not necessarily so to someone from Chicago, or even from elsewhere in California.

Having said that, a flag icon next to the city name to represent the city's country would be cute but also informational.

I like the idea of making use of the city's country flag. In terms of a design element, that would compliment the airline tail icons which I think are important to see from my perspective as a traveler. Thank you!
The number of people in Santa Cruz, Bolivia who have set foot on an airplane is probably comparably to the number in Santa Cruz, CA.
