I'm not sure why this is news. (I'm not being sarcastic -- just curious if/how this is different from the million existing from-your-city flight deal notification sites.)
- stephendaimler 14y agoBecause those sites don't show interesting deals. theflightdeal.com uses a .06/mile metric which only shows amazing deals (ie. $400 to Hawaii from NYC). I assume Hipmunk is doing something similar.
- pinko 14y agoKayak does this too, and even Travelocity did it a while back (although their version may have been killed). There are other sites as well than use a similar (or identical) metric.
- stephendaimler 14y agoWhy do you think these features haven't taken off (that's an assumption)? Maybe it's the map format? I've really enjoyed the curated approach that theflightdeal has taken and now hipmunk. As I said in another comment, I wish Kayak let you filter by cost per mile. The really great deals get lost in all the other deals.
- brianbreslin 14y agoi love kayak.com/explore lets you think "where can i go for X$"?
- geverett 14y agoIf.you're a fan of Kayak explore you might find http://tripcommon.com http://tripcommon.com interesting - essentially aggregating deals like that but for multiple people coming from different origins
