It is thats great your app, but the thing its no working for my country. I hope in the future can cover extend more zonesIt is thats great your app, but its no working for my country. I hope in the future can cover extend more zones.
@piview Totally hear you. “More zones” is the most requested thing in our inbox right now, & we’re building the data pipeline so new regions can be added without each one being a custom project. If you’re open to it, drop your country in a reply or DM and I’ll make sure you’re on the early access list when we flip the switch.
This looks useful. Are there any limits on how many airports can be tracked at once, and how quickly are alerts typically sent after a deal is spotted? Congratulations!
@henry_habib There are no limits on how many airports can be tracked, we send out alerts instantly via email & will be rolling out SMS alerts within the month as well. Thanks for checking it out! ✈️☀️
Hey man! I've actually tried to build something similar before (though I gave up on it), so it's cool to see someone push it live. I kept hitting walls with the GDS APIs like Amadeus and Sabre, and even Duffel, and at any real scale the flight data pulling plus cron scheduling got iffy fast, both on cost and rate limits.
How did you end up solving that side? Are you polling routes on a fixed schedule or reacting to some cheaper signal, and did you stick with a GDS or find another source for the fare data? Really curious how you keep it fresh without the bill exploding. Congrats on shipping it.

Brilliant! Is there normally enough availability at a glitchy price, or do you find that sending a bunch of users to the same flight with the glitchy price ends up with a bunch of people unable to book at that price?
