Show HN: Hacker airlines, airline as a platform. Create your flight.

[doublerebel]

I understand what's happening just from the confused comments. Crowdsourced charter airline destinations/flights.

Friday night is probably a rough time for HN comprehension. Would be awesome to see this hit critical mass, as has with auto transport! Do you have plans to target popular events (i.e. Sounders fans recently chartered a plane to Vancouver, BC for a rivalry match [1])?

If so this is along the lines of similar app ideas I've had, although much more high-end. Best of luck!

The concept seems pretty interesting, but it turned me off when it required Twitter permissions to even do anything. So I still don't know what it does. Conclusion: Interesting, but not interesting enough for me to give permissions without first offering me more details.

Quick note: dollar-using countries like the US write $4.99 meaning one cent less than 5 dollars. Or they write $4,999 for one dollar less than 5 thousand dollars. Or they write $499 for one dollar less than five hundred dollars. Hope that helps.

I don't get it.

The page keeps redirecting me to the spanish language version.

I would like to know more before connecting to Twitter too.

Fixed! we only tweet the message above and you will start following @hackerairlines. Nothing more

I can only see the Spanish-language page for some reason. Safari on OS X 10.9. Changing the user agent doesn't fix it.

solved, thanks!

What exactly is this? It looks interesting.

Thanks! HA is the first airline that works as a platform. Users create and explore flights. Users book seats and charter the airplane if they cover the costs.

booking your seat is so easy!
