Thank you so much, this is great!

But I wonder if I have found a bug - nothing happens when I click the "Buy" button after searching for tickets...


May be a bug, we are still in beta.

What SO and browser are using you?



In Google Chrome I needed to double click the buy button.
Also as a test I tried to search for tickets from AMS -> JFK -> AMS. Go on September 9, return on September 23.

Skyscanner found a flight for 530EUR (http://www.travel2be.nl/HtmlRedirectT2BNL2/AMS/NYC/1/0/0/09-09-2013/23-09-2013/RT/false/true/d9aZEXNL/TEPyUXlTe0yv2nwn65l2Z760HAh336DbvJRsAwYYYaTCB1QVCOTRruZNJ4p46xAZqiJi99qpeiGV0Nx2mahdvg==/?cmp=d9aZEXNL no idea if this link works for anyone but me) but your site had 570EUR as cheapest.

The one via SkyScanner used Air Europa

18:15 AMS – 12:40 JFK
1 tussenstop MAD
24 u. 25 min. (+1) (total travel time, yes, 24 h Cheesy)

return:
22:05 JFK – 15:40 AMS
1 tussenstop MAD
11 u. 35 min. (+1)

you found:
OUTBOUND Amsterdam, AMS

Depart: 16:20 Arrive: 22:05 11h 45m 1 Stop British Airways British Airways

INBOUND Nueva York, JFK
Amsterdam, AMS
Monday 23 september, 2013
Depart: 19:45 Arrive: 18:10 16h 25m 1 Stop British Airways British Airways

Not interested in this flight but I just thought "let's check it out".


Thank for you comment vlees.

You are right, still we don't can show the best prices for all the airlines.
We are working in the integration with other flight search engines to the actual one.

By the way, we can get manually that flight ticket cheaper by a email request.
