I think this seems like a fantastic idea. I really hope it continues to expand.
I am taking the family on a US domestic trip in a few months and have already started the process of flight-searching. I'd be willing to try out something like this, even just for the novelty. However, with so many international flights, the list inadvertently seemed to alienate simple domestic flights.
I wanted to see more examples of my type of trip (business class, simple domestic flight), but wasn't really sure how to do that. I searched through the first 3-4 pages before deciding I would have liked some filter controls on the list. I wanted to see what kind of savings people were finding and what types of trips were being posted. Basically, a way to determine if my trip met the right criteria for a contest and if it was feasible to use the service.
That said, I understand my trip may not be the immediate target market. Nevertheless, I'm going to keep watching this because I really like the concept.
If you think you could get value from experts do the searching and giving suggestions, then give it a try and we'll refund you if you aren't satisfied. But if you're just flying between two large cities, you really are better off going to AA, Southwest or whomever.
Flying domestic in your home country really is not the best use of Flightfox. You know all the airlines, you've heard the anecdotes regarding cheap prices, and prices are already low for domestic.
On the other hand, if you fly RTW, to a different continent, using FF points, to many cities, etc, the expert skill and local knowledge of our experts can save you a small fortune.
