Flight Finding program

Hey all,

I've been working on a flight finding program that queries ITA's matrix for flights and alerts you of cheap/low ppm ones. I took a break for a few months due to life events, but I am going to be starting up again

Right now, it only does searches out of ORD to any number of inputted destinations between the specified dates for the specified trip length range. It then prints out the lowest ppm and lowest priced trips per destination I believe.

I was working on making it RESTful since I don't like doing UI work. After that, setting up a DB to cache results would probably be best. Matrix likes to throw errors relating to random failures or exceeding quotas a lot.

If anyone wants to help out, I have it on github here: https://github.com/HGF/flight_finder
