Description
Most deal sites post one-way fares and leave the return to you. FlyDown checks 7 airlines every few hours and emails you only when the whole return trip drops below the price you set. You book on the airline's own site. Free, no card.

Could you build this?
Partial The alert and user interface logic is basic, but scraping live fare data across multiple airlines without getting blocked or paying for costly GDS APIs is difficult to maintain.
What it would actually take: A production version requires integrating with airline GDS APIs (Amadeus, Sabre) or maintaining resilient headless browser scrapers with residential proxy networks to avoid bot detection across 7 distinct airline websites. The architecture involves scheduled worker queues (Celery/BullMQ), proxy rotation services, and robust fare normalization parsers.
