Concorde — Discover cheap flights to hundreds of destinations worldwide: https://concorde.io




Interesting. Played around with it. -What does creating an account provide? -Do you plan on allowing for filters by price, airline and alliance? -Do you pull in deals similar to what is in Flyertalk's Mileage Run forums since many are time limited there? -I'll be checking it for my next flight now. :)


Thanks for checking it out!

1. By creating an account, you can search from your home airport to hundreds of destinations worldwide. 2. Yes, the filters you propose are very achievable in the near-term, meaning that I already have the data, I just need to create the appropriate front-end for viewing it. 3. Exactly. The quality of the deal is intended to be mileage-run worthy, but not necessarily everyone wants to earn miles. I've found a lot of people just want a cheap and fun vacation spot that is somewhere far from home.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions for improvement! Thanks!


You mention mileage runs, but is there an option to only receive email alerts about cheap airfare for a particular airline?


Currently the email notifications are triggered based on your home airport. If we post a deal from one of your home airports, we send you an email. However, as I continue to develop the site, I intend to offer more granular settings for receiving email notifications, similar to more granular settings for the Discovery results as well.
