Show HN: Wander – Travel by budget
- ruairidhwm 9y agoInteresting - how do you intend to monetise this? Also, your terms seem to cut off at the 'contact' section on my desktop. Happy to chat anything re TravelTech. I previously worked at Skyscanner and am now at Amadeus. Email in bio!
- carlmungz 9y agoInteresting idea. When I tried to use it, it said I had to set my budget between 400-50,000? I thought I could set whatever price I wanted?
- Bryandoo 9y agoThis was a compromise to allow people to actually see results. if you were to set your max budget at 0$, you would receive no results.
- carlmungz 9y agoAh, I see. I would suggest allowing lower fees. For example, many weekend breaks from the UK to Europe can be done for under £250, so if I search with that in mind and can't move any further, it's a bit jarring.
- Bryandoo 9y agoYour suggestion was taken :) Going to lower the min budget to 250 USD. Thanks!
- ezekg 9y agoThis is really cool! I've been toying with a similar idea recently, but using Google's flight API + some fancy scraping bots paired with AirBnB. A few notes: 1. no hotels are loading for me (tried a few diff locations and tried with ad blocker disabled as well) 2. the results are kind of overwhelming (way too many options--feels like a typical travel site) How do you plan to monetize this?
