I like it and I didn't find the interface at all confusing. For about 10 seconds I wondered what to do but picked it up Like it overall, good project to say you have not completed it. I'm always in a state of whether something is worth doing when someone as big as Google goes into the same sector but I think you are far enough along to make it a useful application. I presume you monetize the application from airline referrals?

That was the original plan, but that wouldn't really generate much income. I did plan to add hotels, and hotel referrals pay very handsomely.

  Well good luck with it. I'm in the process of scoping the market to find somewhere I can make some money. At the minute I'm looking at selling actual product but I like service software as it can be a lot "cooler" than selling products. You got some good functionality in there, I like being able to select multiple airports very easily and I like the UI. Sure, there are some aspects of it you could improve but in a lot of ways I am surprised you even needed to ask whether it was worth pursuing as it appears you have put a lot of hard work in already. I would certainly use it and I would also recommend others using it once everything is back up to date too.

    Flightm8 is about 3 years old now and largely unfinished. I suppose the reason I'm asking wether it's a worthwhile endeavour is because I would probably want to start again. I've learnt a lot in 3 years. I've thought about it a lot today, and I think Google Flights looks like it's on course to offer what Flightm8 would like offer..... I doubt that's a battle FlightM8 could win. Google has the talent, the reach and most importantly, the data. I have a Dreamhost account a book on "Pro Javascript Techniques" and rent to pay. David and Goliath battles need a killer idea. FlightM8 is just a nice idea.
