You know where you want to go. Maybe you know the airport code. Maybe you just know the city. Maybe you call it 'Vegas' because you're a human being and not a government database. monk.flights understands all of these, because flight search should work the way your brain works, not the way an IATA standards committee works.
Metro Area Intelligence
Type 'NYC' or 'New York' — you get JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. Type 'Chicago' — O'Hare and Midway. Type 'SF' — SFO, Oakland, and San Jose. Seven metro groups covering the biggest travel markets. Because when someone says 'I'm flying to New York,' they don't mean exclusively JFK.
Three Letters, Zero Clicks
Type D-F-W. The moment the third letter hits, the airport is selected. No dropdown, no waiting, no clicking. The cursor moves to the next field. For frequent travelers, filling out the search form takes about four seconds. Which, coincidentally, is less time than it takes most flight search engines to load their homepage.
Nicknames
Nobody calls it Harry Reid International. They call it Vegas. Nobody says Louis Armstrong New Orleans International. They say NOLA. We maintain a nickname map because we believe technology should adapt to humans, not the other way around. Radical concept, we know.
