#webdev #api #javascript #travel

Whether you're building a travel app, a flight notification bot, or just want to check if your flight is on time — finding reliable, real-time flight data has always been painful. Most data providers charge hundreds of dollars per month, require lengthy contracts, or give you stale data wrapped in clunky XML.
