Re:Where Flight Search Engines Fail on Thursday November 12, 2015 @10:42PM (#10557890)

Kayak explore tool is great. There have been numerous startups trying to build the same, but to make it useful one needs to have a lot of data. Kayak has arguably more data than any other metasearch engine.

Map is definitely useful and for an opportunistic traveller is a great tool. Flystein is not trying to compete with it. Where it is good though is a constrained trip, with fixed dates and requirements, or a complex trip. Map like this would not show a multi city trip.

Elasticsearch as analytics engine

The train Beijing-Pyongyang is still running indeed. I took it half a year ago.
