I created Flyto as part of a self-directed, interface design project. I began with the idea of site that allowed users to choose a flight based on the amount of money they currently had to spend. You put in an amount and the site tells you how far you can expect to travel departing from your current location. Due to the somewhat time sensitive nature of airline flight pricing, I wanted a way for the user to make an informed decision on a location without having to collect information from multiple sites.
The social aspect of the site allows the user to import contacts from several social media sites. Once the user selects a possible destination, information is displayed from several sources, but the most important source being people from within their social circle. A mention on Twitter or tagged photos from Instagram/Facebook will allow the user to have trusted info about the chosen destination.
