Just tested this out and really love it. Based on the amount of time it spent me to book a trip for someone recently, this may save me a ton of time next time I need to book a trip. EDIT: I will add the the flights are sending me in quite a weird way. Seeing what would happen booking a meeting in SF, departing from San Diego took me by way of Salt Lake City … See more

@taelee @katie_weiler I had the same experience. I tried it for a conference in Toronto and it has me flying in and out of Pittsburgh and STAYING in Pittsburgh. Hmmmmm :( Also, traveling on my preferred airline / rental / hotel is table stakes for me for a travel tool.

@justinpirie @katie_weiler Hey guys this is great feedback. One of the biggest challenges we have is finding the balance between load times vs. recommendations.

@justinpirie @katie_weiler @travo Yup, I hear you about better flight results - check it out tomorrow, we're implementing the fix as we speak. BTW, the toronto event is updated so that should work. For BA and Virgin Atlantic, if you click "see more" in the airline preferences, it's in there. But I 100% agree that you should be able to instantly add hotels… See more
