Flightbot - flexible flight searches and alerts
Hey everyone,
We'd love your feedback on a new flight search tool at https://flightbot.com.
In short, it's a better flexible flight search and alert tool! it lets you search:

- For trips with flexible dates: search for any 6-8 day trip (similar to what ITA Matrix allows) or even more esoteric combinations like trips that need to be in a city on a certain date
- For multiple city pairs at a time: search for multiple combinations of city pairs really easily
- With filters: specify if you want the prices for your flexible search to be only for non-stop flights or stops shorter than a given length (to avoid those cheap China Eastern 20-hour-layover-in-Shanghai flights)

This looks pretty cool! It's much easier to set 1 alert here than to set like 10 different alerts when I have some flexibility
Quick question - is there a way to receive more emails than just when the lowest price changes? I feel like often, the lowest price flight is already a date I know I don't like, but I'd love to hear about other dates that suddenly become much cheaper

Right now there really isn't, but we might be able to change that -- would it help if we updated the alerts so that they get sent when prices for any particular month changes? Or is that also not specific enough? I'd also recommend just narrowing down your alert if it really doesn't work for the dates you've picked to a bunch of specific dates.
