Just did a search from Oslo to Montreal, and do see some Iceland air options (see link below). https://www.hopon.com/add/flight/results#dates=2015-06-10%2C2015-06-17&airports=OSL%2CYMQ&cabin=economy&passengers=1&one_way=false https://www.hopon.com/add/flight/results#dates=2015-06-10%2C... In terms of how to book group/family trips there are a couple ways supported right now, and we're adding more workflow paths regularly: 1) You can invite friends/colleagues who can customize and book their own trips themselves - just click the big red "Invite" button in your triplist and invite the other teams to join you. 2) You can also ask to plan and book travel for a friend/colleague (See Account/Profile/Authorized users - they get an email, add their own password and approve you), then you can book for them using their profile information (you can add their profile info yourself if you want to) and your payment information - perfect for admins/team leaders managing a group of business travelers, or a parent buying for older kids. Booking for children that don't have an account is something we're planning to add. Here are details about how Authorized Users work: http://support.hopon.com/hc/en-us/articles/201240029 http://support.hopon.com/hc/en-us/articles/201240029 Hope that helps!

I'd say that's pushing the network effect a little too hard (only able to book for people with accounts) -- not to mention that you slow down booking to a halt, effectively blocking new users (If I plan a trip with 10 friends, I'll have to wait for all of them to get an invite before I can pay for the trip etc...). I'd strongly recommend making it easy to pay you as much as possible (assuming you take a cut).

  That's a really good point - we're just trying to make sure that bad actors can't be spammy and create accounts they have access to for lots of people without their approval (hence the approval step). It's very possible that we can find a happy balance between the two, and we are actively looking into it.

    I'm not really sure what the problem is here: if I can book tickets for people without accounts, then those people won't get spam from you, as you don't have their email address... On the other hand, right now, I can sign up all my friends with their email address through your form (or from my account) -- and by so doing send them an email (even if it is a registration email) -- so you're already allowing me to "spam" my friends/every email address I can think of?
