Resource for all those and their loved ones!

[Martin + Amie 0]

Hello All,

Dont know if you all recall but I am the bloke that is applying for K-1, my gf is american. I thought I would share a new project I am nearly finishing with you.

One of the most difficult things for me being in a long distance relationship is airfare! I have probably been on 100 odd trans atlantic flights over the past two years, and as every one knows it is a costly business.

God know's what the limit is to go and see your loved ones. With this in mind, I decided to develop a new web site, currently in BETA phase that may assist some of you in finding decently priced flight tickets and accomodation.

I named it www.triposcope.com. I created a crawler that basically scans every single airline on the web, and all the major travel sites, e.g. travelzoo and all gateway pages. I believe that this will provide a valuable resource for all those looking for tickets to go and see their loved ones. The crawler scans the web twice a day so all the deals are fresh unlike some other web sites. There are currently over 20,000 fresh travel deals from this weeks scan.

If this isnt a help to you, please excuse my post. If it does serve as a valuable resource for you, I am glad! It has helped me!

Take a peak and see if it does you any favors. I havent launched this service to anywhere but this forum so far, as like I said i know how expensive it is to go and see your loved ones when they are thousands of miles away.

WWW.TRIPOSCOPE.COM

Drop me a comment if you find it useful.

Cheers

Martin

PS: My K-1 has been sent, I have stepped on the road to NOA!:-) Thanks to everyone that helped me.

This is a great idea, thanks for sharing!

Just to let you all know, you can search for deals by clicking on the map:-)

Another thing too! I can see some of you are searching for airport codes, I havent built this service into the application yet! You can search by using city names instead!:-)

There are 104 weeks in 2 years ... so it looks like he's claiming a flight every 1 week. I hope he was signed up for frequent flyer miles

Ditto to what others said...I can't get anything.
