Crowd Sourcing the Cheapest Flights...

[aussietom]

One of the blogs I was reading today posted a link to an interesting website where you put up a 'finders fee' to the person who can find you the cheapest flight using your criteria.

the website is called FlightFox.

Sounds like a pretty interesting concept and am considering using it for when my family comes and visit over Christmas and then for when we decide to head home.

Has anyone used them before?

Just wanted to give an update.
I posted a flight to their site for crowdsourcing for my family to come and visit over Christmas/New Year (most expensive time to travel).

The best deal I could find was $2,700 on the flight aggregators and so far the best flight people have found for me is $2,227.

A saving of almost $1,500 over 3 people for a cost of $40 sounds like a win to me.
