Also, I'm apparently flying Einstein Air, as my flight takes 0:00h

And put in statute miles. Very few folks in the US speak nautical miles or km.

And put a close button on the splash/welcome screen.

Good start, but keep working on it.
the behavior of the search bar makes it a site i won't return to. why should i have to wait for your slow lookup function to identify my airport code and make me select it? i type in LGA MCO and hit calculate before the site can return an error to me and then do nothing. this is a total usability killer.
