My ideal method of travel would be to see a list of all destinations I can get to for less than a certain amount of money. If that means taking 3 layovers (or even chaining 3 different flights) that's fine. It would also be nice if it were aware of various deals available such as Chase's periodic 10% off Southwest flights or United's "Excursionist" perk.
I very rarely want to travel to a specific location, in lieu of allocating a certain amount of money to travel and seeing where that gets me.
Would this for you include accomodation? And do you think you'd prefer a lot of control over that or just a general view? Like a searchpage that has a budget, a starting location and a departure and return date. This would return only the places where the train/bus/flight + hostel/hotel would fit in the budget.
Doesn't necessarily have to include room and board. I can generally find something reasonable anywhere I've been.
I don't even need a specific departure date, just departure location.
Trusted reviewers + dynamic review weighting. For example, so many times, some super crappy tourist trap or restaurant is rated very highly. Upon entering the restaurant, that Sysco smell is blatantly obvious: this place sucks. Being able to follow certain reviewers and have ratings recalculated according to my preferences would help people with less travel dollars get to experience more.
