Booking cheap weekend flights is challenging. When is the best date to fly back home? When is the best weekend to visit my friends? When should I travel with my family? 🤔 Compare all-year weekend and long weekend prices. Filter relevant departure hours. Direct flights only.

@carlos_valls I love the idea! Super useful! 👏 Just regarding if you hit too many times your flight provided or, are you using some type of caching?

Congrats on the launch! I liked the really simple and clean interface :) My 2 cents after using the website: 1. When choosing an origin/destination I'd prefer to choose the city itself rather than the airport. 2. I'd add a tooltip with the name of the company 3. When planning a vacation, sometimes the dates are fixed, but the destination isn't. I'd allow the users to change destination on the search result page. Good luck!

@rahimiyosi many thanks Yosi. Glad the hard work pays off and we can bring a clean and simple way for you to travel more! Regarding your comments: 1. Noted. There is also people for instance that search by airport code… We will definitely add the feature of searching by city name 2. Great. We will add more info in the tooltip, departure hours seems limited 3. This is on our pending list, you will be able to change the destination. Plus, I think it would be great for a user to type in the origin airport and they show both the different destination prices for a specific weekend and the cheapest destination for every weekend. I hate spending hours playing with filters!

Hey guys, nice design but functionality not ideal unfortunately. Pros - nice UI/UX - good for fast analytics Cons - Search by airoport - I searched same dates in another tool and found cheaper prices for the same tickets - tried to search at mobile device without the app, but was not able to search at all

@alex_barashkov hey Alex thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it. We will improve the search funtionality and it's usability in the next release also allowing you to select multiple destinations. Atm you can just search for airport city and airport IATA code. Could you tell us the other tool? We are open to new partnerships :) And what was the issue with the search? Typing did not return any results?

Cons: 1. It's loading and searching rather slow for me. Maybe the site is just overwhelmed with visitors right now. 2. It looks like it always counts up to 1M, even when it doesn't find anything. Also, not 1M flights between the cities I picked. So the counter seems to be just for show. 3. The actual results took so long to show that I thought the page had timed out. 4. It looks like it only searched for 2 months ahead, which is weird because the UI shows 8 months. If you are only searching a couple of months ahead there's no reason to show more empty months in the UI. 5. In order to change the origin or destination I have to go back to the initial page with the search bar. 6. Nobody wants a popup in between the search and the result requesting your e-mail address. Pros: Simple UI, simple to use.

@tostartafire thank you so much for your feeback. 1. It's loading and searching rather slow for me. Maybe the site is just overwhelmed with visitors right now. You are right, we are feeling the love from PH. It's true though that our search takes much more time than the usual websites but we are doing 30x searches on every request. We will try to improve performance by caching the most common routes. 2. It looks like it always counts up to 1M, even when it doesn't find anything. Also, not 1M flights between the cities I picked. So the counter seems to be just for show. It is a fake counter to show the user we are searching for flights and the website did not hung. But as suggested by @bwhite we will replace it with a loading bar. 3. The actual results took so long to show that I thought the page had timed out. We have quite some load atm :) 4. It looks like it only searched for 2 months ahead, which is weird because the UI shows 8 months. If you are only searching a couple of months ahead there's no reason to show more empty months in the UI. That's not the expected behaviour, you should see all months if there are direct flights. Could you tell me the route so I can look into it? 5. In order to change the origin or destination I have to go back to the initial page with the search bar. Noted, thanks. 6. Nobody wants a popup in between the search and the result requesting your e-mail address. It gave us some leads already but it's true it can be really annoying...

@bwhite @eloyrubio I tested with Philadelphia -> NYC; August and September weekends are filled in, but none of the other months are. On the popup, maybe if I clicked on "no thanks" it would stop showing in the future.

Thanks for creating this product/service. Pros: Nice UI, Table of pricing on weekends until 8 month period from current date with color coding by price. Good amount of whitespace. Cons: Slow, cannot change destination or source on second step (price listing page), annoying popup (remove it quickly please), currency options only USD & EUR available. Suggestions: No advanced options available on homepage/initial step (mention trip days from Friday to Monday or takeoff and landing times). No way to save preferences (such as source airport/city, trip days or times, currency) - could use session cookies or provide user account login and store favourite routes or mark for alerts. No way to search non-direct flights (if that is out of scope or infeasible, it's okay to keep as it is).

Great concept, but holy moly this could be the laggiest website I've used. Also, an open destination option would be great too.

> Unfortunately your direct flights are not available yet on weekendflights. We are really sorry about that. 😞 Flying from YYZ (Toronto Pearson) to NYC or anywhere returning no results. Also it would be nice to select the CAD currency. Also Chrome throws a Not Secure warning because your loading Google Fonts from HTTP vs HTTPS. I've also noticed sometimes the site is super fast, other times it's real slow searching.. The home page autocomplete seems buggy too as sometimes it doesn't show any auto suggestions, other times it does for the same term
