Thanks man! There's many ways it could be improved, but I think it's pretty awesome considering I'm just one guy with a server and a dream and not a company with a multi-million dollar budget like Kayak and FareCompare and a couple hundred programmers.
I'm always amazed that companies like this don't have more interesting and innovative tools considering the resources at their disposal.
If anyone else out there has some interesting travel tools that they've tried, please share.
For that matter, if there's anything that frustrates you about trying to plan a trip somewhere, or a 'I wish there was a way...' thought I'd love to hear it.
