Inspiration
One of our members, Jeff, loves to travel. In fact, he occasionally would travel spontaneously to an unplanned destination given a cheap flight ticket. However, the current sites would only search for tickets if the destination is given. We want to give Jeff a tool that will tell Jeff unusually cheap flight tickets, to surprise him with a brand new adventure.
What it does
Given the city origin of the user, Travelio will display the best deals (relative to the average price throughout the month of the flight). Additionally, Travelio can give AI generated itinerary plans for the user.
How we built it
Our tech stack includes:
- Amadeus Travel API: API to fetch flight data
- React: Frontend framework
- Python: Backend programming language
- Gemini API: API to generate itinerary
Challenges we ran into
Our major challenge was that the request for flight data took a long time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to build a working tool that we find useful. Through this project, we learned a lot in building software and learning new tools, such as using an API.
What we learned
We learned effective collaboration with a team, and using new tools and APIs.
What's next for Travelio
We plan to deploy the site and reduce the load time for the API requests so that more people can use it.
