I built Skyhunt – A VPN-powered tool to find cheap flights globally

Hacker News

Hi, I’m Alonso. After 6 months of coding during late nights and weekends, I’m excited to share Skyhunt, an app that compares flight prices across 30+ countries by automatically using VPNs. The idea came from my frustration with manually switching VPNs and searching for the same flights on platforms like Skyscanner to find the lowest prices. Skyhunt automates this process, saving time and money by showing the best global deals in one place. Key features: * Automated VPN searches: Compare prices in multiple countries effortlessly. * Save time: No more repetitive manual searches. * Optimize costs: Take advantage of regional price differences to find the lowest fares. Skyhunt is perfect for frequent travelers like me or anyone looking to explore the world while spending less. It’s currently in a functional beta stage, and I’d love to get feedback from the community to make it even better. You can try Skyhunt here: https://skyhunt.app/ If you have any questions or suggestions, I’d be happy to answer them in the comments. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
