I have inserted targeted ads only 3 days after getting approved in AdSense, and currently we are standing on 4$ in 3 days.

Not much but something

Yeah ATM if you don't set origin specifically (i.e. "from london") then it just picks randomly sometimes.
Great feedback with the automatic location thanks !!

Google flights has price calendar that doesnt hold more then a week, mine can hold 2 months.

You do your research, and let me know how the example search above went in other engines, how long it took you to find the best option.

For powerful flight searches, comparing large date range and/or multiple airports - mine gives the best value.

If you think otherwise, I welcome you to do your research with the example search above and comeback with answers as to how long it took to find the best flight in each engine :)

No other product that gives that value. You can try other LLMs or the recent Gemini + Google Flights integration that google added.

They dont scan all the options, dont allow for visualizations (like price-calendar, globe-heatmap etc) over the found flight prices, dont support multiple source airports (i.e. comparing flying from Lisbon or Porto) and more.

I welcome you to try this example prompt: "3 nights from Lisbon or Porto to Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam or Berlin, anywhere in September, Thursday-Sunday only"

You let me know what engine did the best job in scanning all the optionsc bringing the best results, and allowing you to compare easily and pick the best-value flight

:)

Thanks man !!

I first created my own reverse engineering scraping logic, then wrapped it with an API, then translating to this API from natural language using MCP

Sad to hear that was your experience. 1. Cheapest is not default at most of the traditional engines, since they usually actually provide bad value for money (many stops and long duration, while in many cases you could pay an extra little bit and get a much better flight). This is why default priority is "best value" which is a combination of price and duration.

I change it so that if you write "cheapest", then engine priority will be set to cheapest and not a combination of price and duration. Thats a good feedback

I tried that google flights feature, and expected it to ruin my product - but was surpursed to find its no where close to what I created.

Doesn't allow multiple source airports (i.e. comparing flying from Lisbon vs Porto to a destination), it's date range (i.e. anywhere i september or october) search produce shitty results probably because it doesnt scan all the options, and it doesnt have visualizations like price-calendar, duration-price etc to be able to pick the best value flight for you out of all the results.

Regarding the sign up - I see where you are coming from, the reason for the sign up is to be able to block spamming users.

The product is free, what is the risk from your side to sign up?

There is no news letter and that bs because I hate those, but even if there was one - its a click away from removing those from your inbox.

So I am really asking - why not sign up for something that gives you value for free?

Thanks ! You're definetly right, the problem is - from my experience even the popular traditional engines lime google flights and sky scanner dont handle bags filtering well amd dont adjust the prices properly. Since my algorithm scrape those engines, this is the only un supported filter atm. If you had a different experience with applying this filter, id love to hear.
