not a logical UX at the moment. It was not clear that I should type in the place that it says "united states" and "anywhere" - they're not clearly defined as input boxes. I tested my usual route of San Francisco to London and it didn't show me any good results. In fact it only showed ones taking weird detours.

@_jacksmith Thanks for your feedback. We're aware of some UX issues and are working hard on a fixing them. As for the routes - we're not cheap on all of them, basically we're good at the routes where there's no direct connection, so especially the less frequented ones. We're, however, constantly working on expanding our inventory.

@oliverdlouhy ok. ya it wasn't about price, it was that it didn't show me any direct flights. only ones with stops

@_jacksmith Oh yeah, got it. This is because we only have low-cost carriers in our system and some routes simply are not covered by them. We will add the standard GDS carriers support very soon, so stay tuned :-)

@_jacksmith @oliverdlouhy I like the visual appearance but I have to agree the interaction is very, very confusing and just inconvenient; I would be so much faster just typing in my route, which it - weirdly - wouldn't let me. Wondering how many users you'd win if you could fix this. Eg as a mac user, I'm absolutely not used to using left and right clicks.

I've been using Skypicker for over 6 months now. For Europe it truly is a great solution. You can find great deals & saves a lot of time, what more could you ask? Plus the UX imho is the best I've seen in this space. I believe they will only get better going forward. @OliverDlouhy keep kicking ass! :D I see a nice future for you guys If you could also add: 1) More "magic" for the customer experience (Delivering Hapiness might help in that regard) 2) Save various information inside your account to save even more time when you book (name, payment, etc), and also have the option to login on the mobile app. Crazy use case: wanna hop on a flight tomorrow being able to do that in less than 4 taps through Skypicker would be GOLDEN in my book.

Skypicker is not my product but I like their different approach to budget flight search issues - they are focused on low-cost airlines, use interactive map and more importantly for me, they are based in the Czech Republic

Really glad to see you guys again! I enjoyed looking at Skypicker back in the day but haven't used it since I left Europe, but I'll investigate again. We're working on a lot of the same stuff but optimized for mobile @hitlist_app (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...).

UX is a bit confusing, and the flights it returned for my selections were not the lowest prices available. Think there's still some bugs to work out because I did a search and it gave me a route for a trip from New York to Toronto that went into Europe first.

@shimmb True, we don't have the lowest prices for all the routes, but we're working hard to change this .-)

@OliverDlouhy how about to connect Skypicker with @ClaimAir (flight compensations) - I guess we have very similar audience that can benefit from our services...

@OliverDlouhy @ClaimAir @JakubLadra Thanks, good idea! Actually we're in process of negotiation with one of their competitors, however in case we won't come into agreement, we would definitely contact @ClaimAir !
