FlyMe

The Travel Inpsiration App

With FlyMe users can search for available flights based on their budget, desired location, and trip duration. Our app also provides additional resources to help inspire a destination choice.

FlyMe was created by Ada Cameron, Mustafa Mohammed and Khalid Safy.

Technologies used include: React, Express, Node.js, Axios, HTML & CSS, and Javascript.

Features in progress

• A budget feature that allows users bundle all their choices and track their budget in real time.
• Safety ratings (crime and health) for each location.
• Hotel and activity search functionality

About FlyMe

FlyMe runs from a combined backend and frontend repo.

The frontend was created using Create React App. The backend uses Express.js.

$ git clone git@github.com:adacameron/travel-app.git
$ cd travel-app && npm i
$ cd frontend && npm i
$ cd .. && cd backend && npm i
