Smile I want to build a flight booking and management app for frequent flyers - Help me!

Hi guys,

I've recently become a frequent flyer and feel like there is no good technology solution catered to us.

Working in technology I have the means to fix this.

My questions to you:

What do you currently use to book your flights?
Where do these solutions lack for our demographic?
What kind of features would you like to see in an app made just for frequent flyers?

Thanks in advance!

I'll be honest: Your statement "there is no good technology solution catered to us" seems vague yet shortsighted. I'm a frequently flier and don't feel as if I have too many unmet needs, so it's not entirely clear what kind of solution you are envisioning, and what problem(s) you seek to solve.

I get all my information out of the usual tools (The most common ones have lengthy threads in this forum).

I don't think that there is currently anything missing. There are tools available for award/fare availability. There are tools that allow you to input and price out specific routes on specific aircraft operated by specific airlines.

All the answers are in the neighboring topics.
You can find the time to read them. There, the members of the forum ask questions that do not or do not all have answers.
You can use them for your solution.

Before developing a solution - try to ask people if they have a problem worth solving.

I have to agree with the above posters. Booking travel is not the issue for me. Coming up with new places to go is my problem
