Away You Go
A flight booking app for budget travelers
As part of my Chegg Skills capstone, I designed Away You Go, a flight-booking app for budget-conscious travelers overwhelmed by the complexity of planning trips—especially with friends. Interviews with four frequent travelers revealed a shared pain point: finding affordable flights required juggling multiple sites, tracking prices, and coordinating group budgets, turning excitement into frustration.

I focused on speed, clarity, and collaboration. The homepage prioritized booking flights immediately, visual cues surfaced budget constraints, and a “plan with friends” feature supported shared decision-making.
Usability testing showed 60% of users booked flights in under five minutes, while insights revealed opportunities around feature visibility, destination recommendations, and hotel booking.
Key Takeaway
Iterative testing revealed that what users ignore is just as important as what they use—guiding smarter, more user-centered design decisions.
