Comment on Ask HN: Can someone please start groupon for airlines?parent

Comments

i am not saying its easy. in fact i think its actually very-very hard thing to do. but if someone can do this - this is something i am willing to pay for. and i am sure its doable in some way, but not sure if new startup can do this or it will be a feature of some big player (kayak, groupon, etc..)

I think it would have to be someone with some real credentials, not just in airlines but in general.

I personally think you would not get a welcome reception from airlines either as they try make as much as possible from each ticket so anything that allowed a group of people that were going to get on that flight anyway to save money would not go in your favour.

You could possibly do it on less popular flights where they do not always get full?

Like I say, I am not putting the idea down, I love things like this. I feel this would literally be a 24/7 job though.
