I clicked on San Francisco and see that Galeão says "(SP)" next to it. Galeão aka Tom Jobim (aka GIG) is located in Rio.

For the commentor who got the message in Portuguese, "Os vôos cadastrados no sistema saindo deste Aeroporto com essa duração de viagem ainda estão sendo processados!" means, "the flights registered in the system leaving from this airport with that flight time are still being processed".

I use OX Lion and when I use the trackpad with two fingers to scroll the page, the map gets smaller or bigger. A bit annoying. Other than that, with a little work on the UI, I think you have a good idea. I would like to see an alternative with some sort of text-based layout for the flight information, perhaps with dropdown menus, etc. Another idea is to be able to select the departing city and the destination city via the map, at which point the cheapest flights are shown.

Also, TAM has (or at least had in 2010) direct flights from MIA to MAO which your site is missing. Let's see if there's anything else. The bouncing icon is, imo, a bit tiring. I think the color change is enough.

Thanks for the typo catch.

All the hubs are fixed, which means that outgoing flights will not exist/be shown to airports which are not part of the search/parser. Clearly this is a limitation, but I'm not considering all airports in US either. Might you know all the main Brazilian airports with high traffic to/from US?

Only the cheapest flights are shown, so when you click SSA, for example, you will see the cheapest outgoing flights by date for all the US hubs.

Thanks

No problem. Not sure of all the highest traffic airports to/from the US but if you download the latest PDF from Infraero (http://www.infraero.gov.br/index.php/br/estatistica-dos-aero...) you can see which BR airports have the highest traffic internationally and therefore deduce that they probably offer flights to the US...or at least cross-check them.
