Hi Aloha, thanks for the feedback. We'll try to make this more obvious asap. To explain, our pricing is "from" $29. That's for the simplest trip. It goes up with complexity because the experts must work harder. This does

hi coco, It's definitely better for longer trips, but NYC-Paris is a good one for us because I know our experts have a few tricks up their sleeves with this route. I often fly Montreal-SF so can also comment on NYC-SF. If you just want

Hey aridiculous, we really wanted the economics of the competitive format to be fair. We got to the point where our experienced experts were winning 30-50%, so for them it wasn't so bad. Customers sometimes complained about "only&

Thanks nlh. First, thanks for the feedback on the pricing. We're talking about the miles product right now and will update it very soon. The high price was to account for most miles trips being fairly complex, but we'll segment a

I thought so too. Certainly not the technical breadth of YC, but on par in terms of uniqueness of ideas, founder quality and traction. I thought our YC batch was a force to be reckoned with, but wow, this year's FonderFuel batch was k

Hi axusgrad, that's us, Flightfox. Like Kaggle and 99Designs, we're also Australian. In reference to a few comments here about the inefficiency of crowdsourcing, we're moving more of the work to the back-end (i.e. after an "expert" is guara

Hi Michael, We have a lot planned to reduce the amount of unpaid work. Think of getting quotes from say a plumber. A handful may offer free quotes and then you choose one to complete the work. The initial quote does take some effort, but on
