Half of our team members work remotely from home, in other parts of the world from our main base in Melbourne.

And we encourage our team members to travel as much as possible, working remotely from anywhere in the world.

A feature I miss with Skyscanner is to search for flights leaving say in the evening (e.g. Wednesday after work), and returning in the afternoon (e.g. Sunday afternoon). I normally have to search for the days I want (Wednesday to Sunday) and then use the sliders to get flights for the time of day that I want. However, this really throws off the part where they sort destination by price, since the time of day I want to depart seriously affects the price.

Very cool, could definitely use something like this! Has always bothered me that travel sites always want to know things in such absolute terms, when most people are searching speculatively before they know anything about specific dates etc.

Another feature from skyscanner that I'd love to see: being able to set "from" as any airport in the country. For example, the UK is small enough that traveling to any airport is completely feasible. So I don't really care where I'm flying from (though it's advantageous if it's close to me), I just want the best price/distance ratio.

Very cool! Your jobs page made me think otherwise:

"You're interested in travel (and have ideally done a lot of it) but you're also adventurous enough to pack your bags and join us in San Francisco or Melbourne, Australia. (We'll be happy with a remote working arrangement initially, but we're after people with a willingness to relocate eventually if things work out.)" (emphasis mine)

But in that case you'll be hearing from me shortly :)
