Uber for Flights

My friend and I built BookMyFlight to finally modernize flight search + booking. Why we built this: - Personalization. I fly the same route every month, and there’s no platform that knows my preferences so that I can open it, find and book my flight, and close it within a minute. - Booking is slow. I hate seeing a long clunky airline form each time I need to book. I want booking a flight to feel more like booking an Uber. How it works: 1. Optionally make an account and save your traveler preferences. Personally, I've specified my routine route as SFO to CLE and that I only want red-eye…

Uber for Flights launched on October 2, 2025 with 12 votes, #913 of 8,178 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

BookMyFlight is a flight search and booking platform designed to streamline the booking process for frequent travelers. Users can save their travel preferences and search for flights through a chat interface or search panel, then book with a single click. The platform targets travelers who regularly fly the same routes and want a faster, simpler alternative to traditional airline booking forms. It emphasizes speed and personalization, aiming to make flight booking as quick and convenient as ride-sharing apps.

  • Book and change flights with one email2024 · bonbook.co · ▲128

    Hi there, TLDR; I built an inbox simulator so you can try BonBook in 15s, without sharing your email. Earlier this year I was flying 2-3 times per month and found booking and changing flights a hassle. So I decided to fix it. BonBook lets you find, book and change flights with one email. It can also auto-find flights for events you’re attending. Over the last few days, I built a simulator that lets you interact with BonBook without sharing your email. It responds with real flights and each response includes a link to compare w/ Google.

  • Travel Hacking Toolkit – Points search and trip planning with AIApr 2026 · github.com · ▲95

    I use points and miles for most of my travel. Every booking comes down to the same decision: use points or pay cash? To answer that, you need award availability across multiple programs, cash prices, your current balances, transfer partner ratios, and the math to compare them. I got tired of doing it manually across a dozen tabs. This toolkit teaches Claude Code and OpenCode how to do it. 7 skills (markdown files with API docs and curl examples) and 6 MCP servers (real-time tools the AI calls directly). It searches award flights across 25+ mileage programs (Seats.aero), compares cash prices…

    I was frustrated with existing APIs for searching flight prices, so I built this. It's a simple API to search for flights and get their prices. It can also return booking links. Generous free tier (happy to give more credits, lmk) + super low pricing. Lmk any thoughts or improvement ideas :)

  • I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

  • Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
