Hipmunk Launches Flight Deals

Hmm it offered me a flight from Oakland to Vegas for $88. I clicked through and saw this: "The price we showed you earlier for this search is no longer available. We apologize for the inconvenience. " and lowest price was $108. :(

Edit: I tried again with different dates and was able to find a flight for $88. So guess it just needs some fine tuning.

I expect that the utility of this drops as more people use it - if a bunch of people get a notification about a cheap flight, and there are only two seats at that price, most people are going to be unhappy.

Flight prices change really fast so its possible the flight price actually changed in the time they checked for the deal and the time you clicked through
