Really appreciate you taking the time—means a lot. I also noticed some airport codes don't work. The limitation is actually the destination names API here which is frustrating. Next iteration will try and solve this issue.

If I could do it all over again, I would say screw the startup, the money, the IPO and all that crap. I'd run away to an island and spend maximum time with my first partner - who I lost far too soon in life. No money will ever bring them back. The time lost was not worth it. It's the biggest regret in my life that can still bring me to tears as a write this. I would give up everything to go back and tell my younger self to change that one fateful decision.

Let's hope they didn't actually waste money building this. Lets break this down.

- Travefy already does itineraries and has an API.

- Who needs SIM Activation? We all have virtual sims and global roaming.

- Visa submissions cannot be automated - tricky government websites.

- Local time, weather and air quality? iPhone does that.

- Idea for a destination? Ask Chatgpt

- Airline Check-in? Airlines have moved to auto-check-in

- Hotel Check-in? Front desk in most international hotels needs you to be present to show passport and credit card with PIN.

Nothing truly useful here. Do some more brainstorming.

Usually I just do a Google Sheet for a waitlist. LOL

Thanks for the feedback. It’s actually kickoffpages UI, so not my doing. :/ Just a placeholder for now. But tested it on mobile and it looked fine.
