Innovation is Magic

‎"Real innovation isn’t that much different from magic; it occurs when someone solves a problem by removing a constraint that everyone else had taken for granted." -- Glenn McDonald, Google UI Engineer

What does this have to do with us?

For the most part, we all take one key part of the air purchase process for granted: We have zero flexibility when it comes to our budget meeting our schedule.  Perhaps I can find an airfare that fits my budget; but I can't travel on the days the fare is offered.  Alternatively, I can fly the best flight for me, but I'm lucky if it fits into my budget.

So, remove the constraint. Take control of the price.

Just like magic.

More soon....
