Installation

git clone https://github.com/arghya-v/flyte.git
cd flyte
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Environment Variables

NEXT_PUBLIC_AMADEUS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
NEXT_PUBLIC_AMADEUS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
NEXT_PUBLIC_EXCHANGE_API_KEY=your_key_here
NEXT_PUBLIC_YOUTUBE_API_KEY=your_key_here

Use Amadeus sandbox credentials for testing and playing around; production credentials are required for real flight data.

Usage

• Select departure and arrival airports
• Choose travel dates and number of passengers
• Click Search Flights to retrieve available flights
• View flight amenities, aircraft info
• Switch currencies dynamically to view price conversions
• Flight Route Map

API Integration

• Amadeus Flight Offers API: Fetch available flights
• Custom Airport Lookup: name, city, coordinates from JSON
• Aircraft Lookup: Map aircraft codes to readable names
• Exchange Rate API: Used for converting currency
• Youtube Data API (v3): Fetch Review videos based on search query

Note: API calls are rate-limited.

Future Improvements

• Better caching of API data to reduce requests and rate-limits
• Better front-end UX/UI past the "Learn More" button
• Price alerts for users
• CO2 emissions
• Airplane Images
• Improved UI for mobile

AI Assistance

This project leverages AI tools to help streamline development, including:

• Researching and identifying suitable flight-related APIs, such as Amadeus, for flight offers, seat maps, and amenities.
• Generating and debugging base code for components, utility functions, and pages.
• Optimizing project structure and suggesting best practices for TypeScript and Next.js integration.
• Providing guidance on UI/UX implementation, including smooth animations and responsive layouts.

AI assistance helped speed up simple and basic development while allowing me to focus on feature design, testing, customization, and advanced development.
