twinflights is something I could use. Is it possible to select number of stop overs on each direction? e.g. often I like to wander on way out from home. But then on way back I just want to get home ASAP.
In terms of the UX, a table view is a bit daunting while I'm starting with an exploration mindset, perhaps start the user with a map instead?
Also FYI, I randomly clicked on Book a flight. It led me to Kiwi but the price went up from 158 to 198. I tried a few other buttons and the price stayed the same.
Thanks for sharing this, looking forward to see where you take it.

This is something I've been working on because often times I also want this. The first step was adding one-way flights, the next step is making this configurable!

The 'table' view is the search result correct? Adding a map would actually sound very nice. It would give you the perfect overview of all of your options including price.

I am building this on top of Tequila (the Kiwi API) and their rate limit is quite generous, but still not enough to do real time searches. Every day I am scraping all flights put them into a database (MySQL and Neo4J) so that I can search for the cheapest alternative flights given between point A and B. Because of this the prices might sometimes be a bit outdated, but that also works both ways. I am working on trying to optimise this though.
