This is great; you should be proud!

- There's a slight CSS issue on buttons not clearing text: http://imgur.com/a/FVvj8

- As I've entered my area, it would be useful if the "from airport" on the result page would default to "area airports"

- I'd like a map view of the destinations

- I'd like to be able to filter the lodging accommodations based on stars and type (personal home, BnB, hotel) as there are some regions in the world that I've learned to only use hotels when it's sight-unseen and without recommendation

Congrats again!

I'm normally a huge map fan, but I actually like it the way it is, without a map. I had this cool moment where I thought, "It doesn't matter where in the world it is, as long as it is under your budget."

I haven't figured out how to pass all the menus after clicking a destination. I typed in an airport and clicked Search Flights, but it complains that I haven't entered dates. Can't find a place to enter them.

Thank you! Ahh we have a bug over there!

If you type your airport or place where you want to fly from and select an option out the suggestion dropdown you should be able to select the dates!

Thanks for the feedback, we will solve this!

Thank you mjolk! :)

- Have you tried pushing the more info button? When you do, it wil scroll down.

- Ah yeah, do you mean showing a list of nearby airports? We are working on that one :)

- Allright, i'll write that down!

- True, that would add a lot of value in terms of UX. We have that planned for the near future.

Thank you for your feedback!

I hadn't tried that, but where it was full opacity on both and where I could see the end of the text, I just assumed it was a little UX issue.

Either a list of nearby airports or do metropolitan radius (e.g. NYC means LGA, JFK, sometimes Newark).

And no worries. Launching is a big win.

Yeah it depends on the length of the text. Sometimes it looks a bit weird, so i agree that it is a little UX issue.

We are planning to work that out soon :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback mjolk.

I agree. The odd UX quibble aside (<select> for numbers) this is great. Really awesome results.
