Hello HN! I'm Danny, one of the co-founders of The Rooftop. We let people turn their rooftops into restaurants and connect them with top chefs in the city to create custom menus for guests.

We started The Rooftop because we were sick of eating at the same restaurants each month and wanted more options with better food/better experiences when dining out.

Looking for feedback and happy to answer any questions!

Most of the flights with those prices you can't change your ticket, or flights are non-refundable, or if you want to change your flight at the last minute you're going to be charged the difference between the cheap fare you payed and whatever fares are available (mostly business select if you change at last minute). You can't book more than 30 days out with Teleport, but that's kind of the point. You don't have to spend hours each month scheduling, comparing prices, and booking your trip a month in advance.

We're still working on the schedule and obtaining feedback re when people want to fly. But for now, flights depart about every hour and a half between 4pm-10pm on Friday and Sunday nights and same on Monday mornings between 5am-9am.

Plus you can share flights that you're not going to use in a certain month with family/friends for free.

Right, that's correct. Most of the time, those $49 one-way flights aren't refundable and you're going to be charged extra fees for bags and changing your flight if you need to. So the value prop for Teleport is having the convenience of a subscription model and being able to book at the last minute and still get a fairly decent price. There's no guaranteed seat or compensation for delays, but those are good ideas which we're now going to look into :)
