- sayrer 17y agoI travel quite a lot. I don't think flightcaster would be much help for domestic itineraries, from JFK to SFO, for example. It doesn't deliver much value for the work week frequent flyer (those who travel for 5 work days). Critical stuff happens on Tues/Wed/Thurs for just this reason. It's no big deal if I get in late on Monday--I just sit in the lounge and hack or answer email.

- maxklein 17y agoFlying is an uncertain business time-wise, and I think most business travellers have factored the uncertainty into their schedule, and are not constantly looking to see if they should rebook or not. The technology is good, and it's a useful tool. But technology does not give the money, it's the customers who do.
