This is an excellent resource, especially for bargain-hunters like myself.
One question I have: how are you going about adding new flight information? Do you do them in an automated manner, using a web service, or perhaps by scraping? I'm primarily interested in flights between USA and East Asia, which as of now is still rather difficult to find with your site, but I'd be interested in hearing if that would be available before the end of the year.
BTW, I was a bit confused by the TechCrunch headline. To me, "keeping options open" means something like being allowed to change my mind at the last minute, for cancellations or rescheduling. I hope you don't adopt that as your byline, unless you plan to address that aspect of the flight search problem as well.
- mistermann 16y agoI'd also love to know how you do it, have airlines opened up useful webservices to third parties finally?
- christonog 16y agoAside from RSS feeds, I personally haven't found an affordable (ie free) option. Looks like screen scraping has been the MO of many travel sites (mine included).
- kiwidrew 16y agoGlad you're enjoying Adioso! We love traveling to Asia, and we're hoping to include flights from the USA in the next month or so. Stay tuned, there's plenty of good stuff coming up. :)
