Inspiration

Unable to find affordable tickets back home, we created an app that helps us, and others, to find the most affordable and fair prices for flights.

What it does

It finds the 10 cheapest flights on a particular day, for a round trip for a set destination, and displays them.

How we built it

We scraped google's flight data to find a set of flights travelling from that particular day to the set destination and then we sorted it based on its price and displayed it using tkinter.

Challenges we ran into

Scraping data was a challenge since none of us had experience in this before and converting the results from a pandas dataframe into something viewable was also tough.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully finishing this within the time frame despite having multiple setbacks.

What we learned

How to use beautifulsoup, selenium, tkinter, pandas, and chromium browsers to efficiently retrieve and display the required data.

What's next for F[AIR]

Since we had a time constraint, the flight just finds the cheapest tickets from certain origins to destinations. Looking forward, we would want to make it available to the entirety of the world using all the IATA data.
