Inspiration

As avid travelers, finding the cheapest ticket prices can be a big hassle sometimes. When we heard about the PROS track, we realized we could build something that would alleivate these issues.

What it does

Basically you can enter a request asking where the cheapest flights from one city to another is, along with departure date and an optional return date.

How we built it

We used React for the Frontend along with tailwind css for a sleek and intuitive UI. We used express.js and node.js for the backend, along with the Amadeus SDK and the OpenAI SDK.

Challenges we ran into

We had issues connecting with the OpenAI API, as well as parsing the data originally.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to build an app that can take any two cities, and return the cheapest flight ticket, the airline, and the time of departure as well as the time of return.

What we learned

How to work with SDK's, how to integrate with the backend, how to use AI for Natural Language Processing, and how to work with the amadeus api.

What's next for Runaway

We were hoping to expand to where we could check for layoverss and generate reccomendations for things to do that are close to the layover point.
