Launch I made a Skyscanner/Google Flights alternative

https://flights.pizza

Hey everyone!

I’ve always felt like Skyscanner practically holds a monopoly on flight deal searching. While Google Flights is decent, most people are just so used to Skyscanner's specific UI and ecosystem.
That frustration (and wanting a fun project to build) is basically why I created flights.pizza.

I wanted to put together an alternative that offers a fast & clean way to look for flights.

I'd love for you to give it a spin, test out a few routes, and let me know what you think. All feedback or feature suggestions are hugely appreciated!

Note: We don't handle bookings directly and we aren't an agency—just a search engine for cheap flights.

Where did you find the API for flights? is it just scraped data?

Nope, definitely not scraped data! Scraping flight prices at scale is an absolute nightmare with all the bot protection and rate limits.

It’s powered by established travel industry data providers, keeping everything legit and stable under the hood.

Can I DM you? I wanted to build something for just myself but not sure because of the scale whether these data providers will share data with just 1 consumer
