Inspiration

Vick had a long layover in Reykjavík, Iceland and ended up exploring the area. He rented a car, visited hot springs, the scenic landscapes, and local attractions. What if we made a site to help travelers deliberately find long layovers (10+ hours) AND attractions once there?

What it does

Finds flights with long layovers (10 or more hours) and activities in the city with the layover.

How we built it

Using NodeJS and Express on the back-end for API calls, and MomentJS for calculating time differences. ReactJS on the front-end for the interface.

Challenges we ran into

Deciding the scope of the MVP, parsing through API data, understanding how to implement both APIs in our project. Implementing Flexbox CSS.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully finding all the long layovers between two given cities.

What we learned

How to implement the Amadeus and Yelp APIs, Flexbox.

What's next for Delight

Round trip flights.
