If you really came up with a superhot must have piece of FF software, I would suggest that you speak with the the owner of FT, Randy, as he may be just a little bit more effective in marketing it and really has a line on the best customers!

Dear Softwaremaker

Here's an idea. I'd like to see a web page that would search travelocity and instantly find any air fare stuff ups ie air fares for $80 between Melbourne and London. That would be useful.

cheers Peter

Thanks for all the feedback so far. Would anyone of you pay for a service (like mileage runs calculations, etc.)?

Say something like:
$0.25 for a one day search
$1.00 for a one month search
$5.00 for a one year search

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE

At that price, Yes.

=======================================

Yes

Just curious...

How many mileage runners do you guys think are out there? Basically, is the market big enough to sustain my undertaking?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt that anyone will be able to tell you exactly how many 'mileage runners' there are. I would ballpark the Flyer Talk base around 500-1,000. In my opinion a program that would allow people to rapidly search through airlines and find the best 'runs' would be well worth it to frequent or even once or twice a year runners like me. Your customer base would grow quickly if delivered successfully. Just my 2cents!

I also was a fan of Fare Compare and sent jimbob an email offering to donate toward the cause if he could resume it, but never heard back. So yes, I'd definitely pay for something similar. I'd also be interested in something like this site http://www.air-fare.com/allsav.htm which finds the day's airfare cuts out of any city, but for international flights. Air-fare.com only does domestic.

I would love a system that gave me a single source summary of all hotel, airline programs and give me the option to calculate a vacation. For example, 'Go to Walt Disney World for 2' and have it search all my accounts and spit back something like that if I use 50,000 miles out of my UA account, and 8 of my 10 upgrades (2 each way per person), and XX of Hilton points to stay at the Hilton at the Village Marketplace and that the cheapest rental car that I have a membership card to is XYZ.

Could get very involved, but I'd certainly pay for it.
