It's not primitive, believe me... It might rather be because no one else makes such complex searches possible (perhaps with the exception of ITA). Take an example: From anywhere in Germany to anywhere on the Mediterranean coast, next summer, max. 1 connection, for 5-8 days, return to same airport: https://azair.me/!4gDR ... is generated in 2.3 sec. That's not long

Or what did you mean by complex searches?

Hello Jani,

if you are interested not only in schedule, but also availability and pricing data for 55+ European and Middle-Eastern low-cost airlines, let me know.

At http://www.azair.com, we use it to allow our users (for free) to: a) combine different carriers (up to 3 changes en route) search by region (from: Scandinavia, to: Mediterranean, or: Anywhere) b) query long time spans (August-March) c) use very specific queries (only week-ends, depart after 9am, etc.) d) search 55+ carriers (European and Middle-eastern) e) get replies really fast

We also have a B2B XML/JSON API for both flight search and real-time availability+pricing, alas that is not for free.

Also, we tweet daily tips for return flights under €50 at http://www.twitter.com/AZairBot

Let me know what you think

Tom
