Thank you so much, this is great!

But I wonder if I have found a bug - nothing happens when I click the "Buy" button after searching for tickets...

May be a bug, we are still in beta.

What SO and browser are using you?

Dear Bitcoin Community

I'm Martin Fernandez, the BtcTrip.com CEO. As I'm writing this, I'm based in LA and on my way to NYC.

Our website has been launched in a very hostile environment of the international policies trying to hold back Bitcoin development. If you are really committed to Bitcoin and freedom, we are looking for your support and attention.

Btctrip.com is a discounted airfares website which eliminates all third parties and their fees. Also thanks to automation, our staff expenses are significantly lower. Being BTC traders ourselves allows us to transfer margin into discounts for you.

Our mission is not only to sell plane tickets. We are embracing the Bitcoin community more than anything else by creating a business which caters to a new millenium client. Our investors, to whom we are very grateful for their support are well known figures from within startup community.

As we do really care about your trust and our credibility, you can buy all the tickets using escrow service.


Kind regards

[mprep]

Good luck to you then.

Wow he wasn't joking, these really are the cheapest flights I've ever seen.

  Total price USD 1.183

That's like, a little over 0.01 BTC.

Wait? How's that possible?

Possible via the magic of typos. I'm sure it's supposed to say BTC 1.183.

[GenTarkin]

top OP, any chance you can add southwest as an airline? They are usually the cheapest here in states.

You are right, it is an internationalization bug.
Now, all the prices are expressed in usd except the one of the checkout form that detail the total price in usd and btc. The prices in dollars use comma as decimal separator and the price in bitcoins use the dot as decimal separator.

We are working on fixing it.

Thank you!

[Stonedblues]

Booking a ticket at the mo so I hope it'll go well. Paid via Bitpay.

[Stonedblues]

Just wanna post that I've booked one ticket and about to book another through btctrip, they price matched one I found on another site. I'm very happy with the service and will continue to use them from now on.

In Google Chrome I needed to double click the buy button.
Also as a test I tried to search for tickets from AMS -> JFK -> AMS. Go on September 9, return on September 23.

Skyscanner found a flight for 530EUR (http://www.travel2be.nl/HtmlRedirectT2BNL2/AMS/NYC/1/0/0/09-09-2013/23-09-2013/RT/false/true/d9aZEXNL/TEPyUXlTe0yv2nwn65l2Z760HAh336DbvJRsAwYYYaTCB1QVCOTRruZNJ4p46xAZqiJi99qpeiGV0Nx2mahdvg==/?cmp=d9aZEXNL no idea if this link works for anyone but me) but your site had 570EUR as cheapest.

The one via SkyScanner used Air Europa

18:15 AMS – 12:40 JFK
1 tussenstop MAD
24 u. 25 min. (+1) (total travel time, yes, 24 h )

return:
22:05 JFK – 15:40 AMS
1 tussenstop MAD
11 u. 35 min. (+1)

you found:
OUTBOUND Amsterdam, AMS
Nueva York, JFK
Monday 9 september, 2013
Depart: 16:20 Arrive: 22:05 11h 45m 1 Stop British Airways British Airways

INBOUND Nueva York, JFK
Amsterdam, AMS
Monday 23 september, 2013
Depart: 19:45 Arrive: 18:10 16h 25m 1 Stop British Airways British Airways

Not interested in this flight but I just thought "let's check it out".
