1. After my travels in Europe in 2017 I wanted a simpler, minimalist flight booking app tailored to my travel style.
2. To learn Javascript
When I travel I always buy one-way flights and I'm not looking to depart on a specific day, but within a date range. And of course, I look for the best price.
Even though sites like Skyscanner and Google Flights are quite popular and easy to use, I have to enter a specific departure date and then use the Calendar to find other dates which may have cheaper prices.
I just want to enter an origin, destination, date range and get a list of flights, without the frills or ads.
So I built Flightlist and in the process I learned Javascript. Something I had been meaning to do for several years.
I'm looking for your feedback, do you find it useful? Would you use it? What features or data-points would you like to see?
Where do people get access to this flight data? I have interesting travel requirements, to the point that I would probably want to filter the raw data itself, but I thought it was highly locked down?
Cool, just added to Pushbullet to check this out later.
Curious, there are other services that also have search functionality within a date range. When someone creates these flight checker apps, what is unique to each one? Aren’t there only a limited amount of flight data at any given time?
Yes basically that is to ANYWHERE. I will be improving the departure and destination fields to include more options (radius, multi-city, multi-country, regions, etc)

I built my first side-project, https://www.flightlist.io, for 2 reasons:
