🧜🏽 👩🏼‍🏭 👨🏼‍🎨 Trying to solve the problem of choosing tickets before vacation # 2 🔁 👩🏽‍💼 🎲

Hello everyone! The long weekend has come, which means that it's time to share the new features that have been made since the previous post:

Difficult Combinator

Use case: there are known directions where you want to fly, but the price does not suit you or you want to add another city to the route.

For example, I want to fly to Peru from Moscow in March - the cheapest “regular” ticket with 2 transfers, which I managed to find costs 51k rubles, which is not so expensive for this destination, but expensive in itself. And if you try to make a difficult route with a stop for a couple of days in Europe, you will already get 41k rubles. 10k cheaper and a bonus you can stroll through the beautiful cities.

Pictures with prices

The combinator can check the following flight schemes for one-way tickets:

O r i g i n \to a n y \to D e s t i n a t i o n

$Origin \rightarrow any \rightarrow Destination$

O r i g i n \to a n y_{0} \to a n y_{1} \to D e s t i n a t i o n

$Origin \rightarrow any_0 \rightarrow any_1 \rightarrow Destination$

and for round-trip tickets:

O r i g i n \to a n y \to D e s t i n a t i o n \to O r i g i n

$Origin \rightarrow any \rightarrow Destination \rightarrow Origin$

O r i g i n \to D e s t i n a t i o n \to a n y \to O r i g i n

$Origin \rightarrow Destination \rightarrow any \rightarrow Origin$

O r i g i n ⇌ a n y ⇌ D e s t i n a t i o n

$Origin \rightleftharpoons any \rightleftharpoons Destination$

O r i g i n \to a n y_{0} \to D e s t i n a t i o n \to a n y_{1} \to O r i g i n

$Origin \rightarrow any_0 \rightarrow Destination \rightarrow any_1 \rightarrow Origin$

It supports basic filters (without a visa, only direct ones), as well as the ability to specify the radius between stops, for example, to take a train or bus between neighboring cities (the route between the stops is not yet able to build).

You can try it here: cheapster.travel/combinator
(while there is no mobile version)
(if you still decide to switch from mobile - turn on the side of the screen)

Complex tickets (triangles)

This is essentially a combinator for the circuit.

O r i g i n \to a n y_{0} \to a n y_{1} \to O r i g i n

$Origin \rightarrow any_0 \rightarrow any_1 \rightarrow Origin$ and is needed for cases where it doesn’t matter where exactly to fly, the main thing is cheaper :)

Use case: you get the top 100 difficult routes for the price and you need to gradually add cities / countries that are not interesting now to the exceptions and repeat the search until it comes across something interesting. It is also possible to specify the destination (inclusion) that you need to "capture" in a difficult route (for

a n y_{0}

$any_0$ or

a n y_{1}

$any_1$ )

You can see it here: cheapster.travel/complex
(if you still decide to switch from mobile - turn on the side of the screen)

Ticket Price History

Use case: just information about how the minimum price changed over time for a specific date and direction. Making any predictions about the price is very difficult.

For example, the history of the minimum price for days on a direct flight from Moscow to Bangkok on April 13 one way looks like this:

There is also a table

The backlog has the task of forecasting prices, but until hands reach, it may appear by the next post.

I hope this helps someone save money and plan their trip more optimally.

That's all, have a nice day! If you went to the site from the desktop - please go through the survey below.
