Interesting. I ran a flightfox contest a few months ago and did get some responses. It was a complex route from Bolivia to India. Add to that my visa complications and it made for plenty of fun. The experts however were quite understanding and did spend some time reading and learning my situation (one of them didn't, but once I explained things to him, he was okay with it..).
So the contest ended and I awarded someone as winner. A few weeks later I decided to take a second look so that I could book my tickets. This is where flightfox seems to have changed something.
At the time that the contest got over and I chose a winner - I could see booking instructions for all 4-5 itineraries that I had received. However, a few weeks later, I can only see the one that I awarded.
That set of tickets is no longer available. I can't see the booking instructions for the other itineraries.
I don't know why they changed this. It makes no sense. I mean, if one set of tickets goes out - it's only reasonable that I should be able to purchase the next best set.
Anyhow, for what it's worth, the ticket prices they found were indeed better than the ones I could find - mainly because they came up with some creative routing.
