Hi all,
I've been busy booking travel stuff lately and rapidly reached the conclusion that there wasn't a flight search engine out there that lets me search the way I want to search.

I'm also a web programmer, so I'm wandering whether I can cook up something myself. The first hurdle for this would be getting the ability to query flight availability and cost. Has anyone got ideas on where I would start with this?

Ideally there would be a web service somewhere that I could feed in flight details and get a response back. I suspect there is no single one and I'll need to hit a number of different services, possibly one per carrier.

Cheers,
Peter
