Hi! With this new iOS update, you'll be able to book your flights directly in the app with just a few taps. It takes about 10 seconds. We also introduced our Android app. Would love to get feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions.

@mikeyrenan thanks for trying it out!

Why is American Airlines not available? They don't have an API for this kind of usage? How does the rest of the travel websites get around this?
Brianna Schneider
@lalo We receive, from several Global Distribution System (GDS) partners, real-time “shadow traffic” containing the results of consumer airfare searches happening across the web. Unfortunately, AA is not sharing flight data with us, so we are unable to offer their flights at this time. We're constantly improving our data coverage and hope to offer them soon.

@bri_schneider nice video! but I think it will be even more better if you add some voice. what do you think ?
Brianna Schneider
@nikitabakirov Thanks! We're definitely considering a voiceover to add some extra clarity.

Is there a reason there isn't a web version of this? I like to do all my travel planning on a regular computer.

@livejamie We actually started out building by building data-driven guides about when to fly and buy. You can check it out here: http://www.hopper.com/reports. We are focused on mobile though because the real-time notifications are a critical component of the product. We wanted to take all the work out of the flight shopping process by doing all the comparison shopping for you and notifying you when we find a great fare. With our new QuickTap Booking feature, it's super fast and easy to book from your phone.
Jamie Martin
@fredlalonde Yeah but real time notifications can happen just as effectively via text or email. :)

The simple and easy-using booking user flow shocked me! Are you cooperating with OTAs to issue the flight tickets? As far as I know, Different OTAs may provide different prices for the same itinerary, but your price watching is based on all the data in GDS, does that mean you have cooperated with most of OTAs?

I believe that this will be a great addition to the routes. We design routes from point A to point A around Europe and call it A-to-A trips, to keep it short https://www.producthunt.com/post...
