From the looks of it and the flights I have reviewed it LOOKS great.
Anyone have any experience with good, REAL results?
Would be cool to apply to become a "flight hacker" too...

I checked some examples.

rates they got, are impossible, and view flights (that people suggested,) doesn't work.

Seems like people can suggest mileage tickets as well, and I suppose you could sell them the ticket, however, what guarantees that you get paid (the ticket).

How do you know rates are impossible? Are you a hacker yourself?  ;)

Just to follow up, I had a great experience with FlightFox and learned a lot.

Flights I was looking for were going for $1500+ on all the travel sites, but my FlightFox guy found me a route for $850 ($874 including fee for checked baggage)

I'd highly recommend them.

I'm curious what it would have cost, with $ or points, compared to what you paid.

So ppl can get a feel of what kind of special you got and whether the service may be worthwhile for them.

Flight from Tel Aviv to Montreal the week before Pesach, and flight from New York to Tel Aviv the week after Pesach.
Flights on Matrix and Kayak etc were showing in the range of $1500, Flightfox agent got me a flight for $850, but with two European stopovers in each direction.

I hope that helps :)
