Just a bit of friendly advice... keep the graphics on your front page updated. I just visited to check on a flight but when I see ads for events from earlier this year it makes me wonder if you're still operating and erodes confidence in the brand.

Thank you for the advice!
Fixed.

We forgot it cause we are so focused redesigning the new home page Wink

Thank you so much, this is great!

But I wonder if I have found a bug - nothing happens when I click the "Buy" button after searching for tickets...

May be a bug, we are still in beta.

What SO and browser are using you?

In Google Chrome I needed to double click the buy button.
Also as a test I tried to search for tickets from AMS -> JFK -> AMS. Go on September 9, return on September 23.

Skyscanner found a flight for 530EUR (http://www.travel2be.nl/HtmlRedirectT2BNL2/AMS/NYC/1/0/0/09-09-2013/23-09-2013/RT/false/true/d9aZEXNL/TEPyUXlTe0yv2nwn65l2Z760HAh336DbvJRsAwYYYaTCB1QVCOTRruZNJ4p46xAZqiJi99qpeiGV0Nx2mahdvg==/?cmp=d9aZEXNL no idea if this link works for anyone but me) but your site had 570EUR as cheapest.

The one via SkyScanner used Air Europa

18:15 AMS – 12:40 JFK
1 tussenstop MAD
24 u. 25 min. (+1) (total travel time, yes, 24 h Cheesy

)

return:
22:05 JFK – 15:40 AMS
1 tussenstop MAD
11 u. 35 min. (+1)

you found:
OUTBOUND Amsterdam, AMS
Nueva York, JFK
Monday 9 september, 2013
Depart: 16:20 Arrive: 22:05 11h 45m 1 Stop British Airways British Airways

INBOUND Nueva York, JFK
Amsterdam, AMS
Monday 23 september, 2013
Depart: 19:45 Arrive: 18:10 16h 25m 1 Stop British Airways British Airways

Not interested in this flight but I just thought "let's check it out".

Thank for you comment vlees.

You are right, still we don't can show the best prices for all the airlines.
We are working in the integration with other flight search engines to the actual one.

By the way, we can get manually that flight ticket cheaper by a email request.

Regards,
BtcTrip Team

Wow he wasn't joking, these really are the cheapest flights I've ever seen.

Quote

Total price USD 1.183

That's like, a little over 0.01 BTC.

Wait?

How's that possible?

Possible via the magic of typos. I'm sure it's supposed to say BTC 1.183.

You are right, it is an internationalization bug.
Now, all the prices are expressed in usd except the one of the checkout form that detail the total price in usd and btc. The prices in dollars use comma as decimal separator and the price in bitcoins use the dot as decimal separator.

We are working on fixing it.

Thank you!

top OP, any chance you can add southwest as an airline? They are usually the cheapest here in states.

Dear Bitcoin Community

I'm Martin Fernandez, the BtcTrip.com CEO. As I'm writing this, I'm based in LA and on my way to NYC.

Our website has been launched in a very hostile environment of the international policies trying to hold back Bitcoin development. If you are really committed to Bitcoin and freedom, we are looking for your support and attention.

Btctrip.com is a discounted airfares website which eliminates all third parties and their fees. Also thanks to automation, our staff expenses are significantly lower. Being BTC traders ourselves allows us to transfer margin into discounts for you.

Our mission is not only to sell plane tickets. We are embracing the Bitcoin community more than anything else by creating a business which caters to a new millenium client. Our investors, to whom we are very grateful for their support are well known figures from within startup community.

As we do really care about your trust and our credibility, you can buy all the tickets using escrow service.

Kind regards

Edit: But seriously, you made my day! I've been waiting for a service like this for a long time. Wish you the best of luck, and hope you're still around next time I need to go somewhere.
