Found 2 typos while setting up a contest.

Beginning - Price for this costest is $ 25.00. Are you offering a better reward?

End of contest - Conteatulations, you are just a step to submit the contest. Just confirm and click submit!

I submitted a contest to fly from RDU (Raleigh) to SFO (San Francisco). RDU is a tough place to fly out of because there are a limited number of direct flights. During the winter, there is only 1 direct flight a day and in the summer there are 2 to SFO. However, I submitted a contest more to see how it works than anything else.

Either way, I like the concept!

EDIT: I submitted the contest, but it sits at the Loading something awesome screen and never goes anywhere.

Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback - well spotted, corrected those two issues.

As for your contest, were you not able to finalise it? We are taking a look at it right now!

Does it work everywhere? Or does it have a regional/country focus?

Will test out today

We focus globally! We tend to find much better fares on longer flights or more complicated itineraries using our flight hackers' tricks, but we can find low fares on local flights too! Give it a go and let us know what you think.
Nice landing page!
