What is Flyzilla?
Flyzilla is an open-source metasearch travel engine that allows users to easily search and compare flights, hotels, and rental cars across hundreds of travel sites. It was created in 2022 by a group of developers and frequent travelers who were frustrated with the lack of good flight search options.
What makes Flyzilla unique is that it is completely free to use and open source, meaning anyone can contribute code back to the project. It searches major OTAs (online travel agencies) like Expedia and Priceline as well as airline and hotel sites directly to find the best published fares. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to filter by stops, departure times, airlines, and more.
