Adioso: have you talked to ITA Software (now part of Google) about licensing QPX? We solved the data issue, very painfully, over a 10-year period, by working directly with the airlines. (This was, in fact, one of my major contributions to the company as COO, and many people were involved.) Using QPX, you could implement exactly what you envision with stuff ITA already has running.
I'm a cofounder of ITA but am no longer affiliated with the company. But if you want to talk to people there, I can connect you. Just reply here with some way for me to contact you.
- tomhoward 14y agoMany thanks David. We spoke to Jeremy very early on in proceedings (early '09), and it QPX didn't seem to be a fit (or at least, a cost-effective one) at that point. But I'd like to think things have changed since then. I'll ping you on LinkedIn.
- pallian 14y agoHey Tom - have you checked out Vayant? I've been playing with their API for my upcoming travel startup and it's been really good. Results in less than a second for most of Europe and Asia.
- almacmillan 14y agoTotally. Vayant are on the open ended fast query wavelength. Tom links to them in the last paragraph
- dmbaggett 14y agoI'm here on LI: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbaggett And try to ignore the negative trolls in this thread. Travel search is hard, but worth working on.
