The UI is great, congrats for the hard work! However because you mentioned in the description, I should add that it doesn't search all the agencies in the world, skyscanner and kayak search will only bring like 5% of the agencies or prices in the world. I have used some simple search to some destinations and could easily find 10% cheaper prices (50$) on other agencies. Searching on all agencies is not very possible to do real-time for free.

@ercu Thank you for correcting me. You are right it is impossible to have prices from every agent in the world. I was trying to stress the fact that we give you unbiased quotes from most well-known OTAs and airlines.
Very cool! The green-yellow-red color scheme though (or at least I assume that's what it is) is unusable for colorblind folks like myself - with little dots, it's impossible to tell between red and green, or reddish-yellow and greenish-yellow. Better to replace with a one-way spectrum like white to black, white to blue, light blue to dark blue, etc.
@benburns Hi Ben, Yes we would definitely would like to make this work for colorblind people in the future. Thanks for the feedback.
@oimeit Thank you for your feedback. We show temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius both in the filter. For eg. -12°C/10°F to 50°C/122°F. On the city level, due to lack of space we show temperature in Celsius only. But I guess a toggle would be a good idea, for people from the US.
@mohitshah9920 You're right – it's actually there and I missed it somehow. My bad. Anyway, it would be quite neat if it could detect the local temperature unit just like it detects the local currency.
hey there, couple of questions :
- here in EU we kinda like more trains, how is that there is no SU/product focusing on train travel as plane is pretty much getting avoided ?
- Frequest : remove some airports (BVA) or airlines (ryanair)
- how is mapbox limits ? i think free tier is cool but have you reached the limit ? Thanks
- also, black and with map is easier on the rendering ?
@francoolaami Thanks for your feedback.
- Yes, We want to add train travel to Escape soon!
- Yes, we hope to add that feature soon.
- We use mapbox to serve our maps and yes we exceed free tier very quickly!
- Are you referring to a black/darker map? If yes, that is something we are experimenting with.
@mohitshah9920 @sfrostwick Why is train less exposed ? Are API for distribution much works to put on a front app ? Trainline has done lots of efforts but seems to me that it's getting easier :)
Wow, I love this. This is exactly how my wife and I shop for travel, and the UI is so good. One small suggestion: some people might want to filter by ticket type especially with airlines now offering sub-economy tickets which upcharge for a carry-on.
