@rorysutherland @antonnorbert Billy Bishop is a faff free bus stop. I just walked to the hotel, with cases.

Would consider a t-shirt…

The bat cat inspects today’s progress.

Does anyone have any connections at IAG Developer?

Looking for access to the British Airways Flight + Car/Hotel APIs.

But... their account registration, reset, and contact forms don't appear to work :(

Which means no API access.

Do you know anyone who can help?

Day 1 live with the Great British Take Off, watching yesterday's users sessions.

Here's a real example. This was err... more successful than most :)

Lots of updates and fixes will be live by the end of today.

Another 50 searches available for today: https://t.co/L73ksDvFlf

@jbillingsley Thanks Jason!

Curious about refundable fares — they can often be a lot more expensive. Do you use them outside of work?

@stew_hillhouse A bit like sitting on a delayed flight!

@MartijnSch Lots to figure out for sure!

I live under a flight path (27L into Heathrow). Most passengers on every flight are fair game. Plus, London is one of the top global origins for premium traffic.

Somehow, other flight search apps have existed.

There must be a way to make it work!

@erangalperin @stripe Have you spoken with @PaddleHQ ? They’re pretty hands on with support and even strategy.

To your point on this market being ripe for disruption, few SaaS businesses are tooled/staffed to optimise for payments and monetisation. But it’s one of your biggest growth levers.

@jrfarr @webflow @lemonsqueezy Netlify did this back in the day too. Churned everything (and every company since) to Vercel.
