This is really cool! Out of curiosity, where do you get the data right now? I've worked on a couple of projects, but always had trouble finding data for low-cost airlines other than just by scraping. Also, just a few UI things that bugged me: 1. It would be amazing to show the price for each flight, in addition to the combined price. 2. I originally tried London Gatwick, but didn't get good results until I tried London Stansted. It would be great to consolidate cities' multiple airports into one. 3. When linked to the resulting sites, the site opens with the flight origin's country's language (e.g., a flight from Budapest would be in Hungarian), which makes it pretty hard to book. Can you link to everything in EUR and in English, especially if the site's English? Overall, a great start! I'd totally use this if I just had a week free and were starting out in Europe. |

Hey, sorry for my late reply :) Thanks for review and suggestions. I get data from api endpoints of airline pages, but unfortunately they are not official public APIs. Ryanair api already exists but they haven't activated my developer account yet. To points:
1) will do, good idea :)
2) selecting city instead of airport directly is possible improvement, but little more complicated for implementation
3) I'm not sure if you can see prices in EUR if you are booking a flight from Budapest for example... but will search for it and will try to implement it,I know that prices in HUF, SEK, CZK can be confusing as well as language.
I'm still trying to optimize the core routing part to make loading times as short as possible, and I do all alone in my free time, so UI stuff is not getting enough attention I guess :)
