Priceline is looking for front-end devs. We're rethinking every aspect of the Priceline web and mobile experience.
I just came from a startup and it's a great fit for me because I get many of the things I like about being in an early-stage startup: ability to experiment, learning by doing, casual/fun/collaborative environment (all executive supported/encouraged). And then there are the added benefits of a successful co: great compensation, plenty of resources, brand that will look good on your resume, and lots of traffic to experiment with!
Because those sites don't show interesting deals. theflightdeal.com uses a .06/mile metric which only shows amazing deals (ie. $400 to Hawaii from NYC). I assume Hipmunk is doing something similar.
Kayak does this too, and even Travelocity did it a while back (although their version may have been killed). There are other sites as well than use a similar (or identical) metric.
Why do you think these features haven't taken off (that's an assumption)? Maybe it's the map format? I've really enjoyed the curated approach that theflightdeal has taken and now hipmunk. As I said in another comment, I wish Kayak let you filter by cost per mile. The really great deals get lost in all the other deals.
If.you're a fan of Kayak explore you might find http://tripcommon.com interesting - essentially aggregating deals like that but for multiple people coming from different origins
You're right. I hadn't looked at that in a while. They are capturing the same deals but for me they got lost in all the other less exciting deals. It would be great if you could filter by cost per mile.
