Making Travel Less Annoying, One Flight at a Time

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

Back with a Skyneu update — the AI travel assistant I’m building to make flight planning feel less like a chore and more like something you actually look forward to.

✈️ The Problem’s Still the Same

After talking to more travelers and watching how people search — it’s clear:

Nobody wants to open 10 tabs just to find out they can’t take that flight due to a visa issue, or that their group is split across airlines.

So I’ve doubled down on fixing that.

🧠 Skyneu Now Thinks Like a Human (Well, Almost)

The assistant now flags the stuff that matters, like:

  • “You may need a visa for this stop — check based on your passport.”

  • “This airport has a rep for lost luggage — pack carry-on if possible.”

  • “This layover is risky — 40 mins + customs = stress.”

And answers actual traveler questions:

  • “Will I need a visa on this route?”

  • “Can we plan this trip for 4 people with similar flights?”

  • “What’s the best route that avoids Schengen?”

No jargon. No fluff. Just smart help.

🛠 What’s New

Still grinding in build mode, but some cool things live now:

  • ✅ Visa checker powered by your passport and stops

  • ✅ Trip planner to compare flights for your whole journey

  • ✅ Group planning — add friends and coordinate flights together

  • ✅ Dark mode 🌚

  • ✅ Copy-to-search for fast pasting into booking sites

  • ✅ Real-time alerts for delays, disruptions, and weather

🔍 I Need Your Input

What’s the most annoying part of planning flights or trips for you?

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I’ve been thinking about travel planning headaches. For me, the worst part is juggling different airline policies on baggage fees and trying to compare them across sites. It’s a pain to spot hidden costs before checkout. What quirks drive you crazy when you book a trip?
