# Flight-Finder
Imagine you plan to travel to a different country but want to find a flight that fits into your budget! Isn't it kind of annoying to keep visiting flight site's daily to know if you can find a fare that is light on your pocket? Well, this is an attempt to automate this process via Splinter (a wrapper around Selenium), Python and Slack - for sending you updates.
The bot sends you an update every half an hour (can be adjusted) so that you never miss an opportunity to book a budget airline!
To install:
- Clone this repo.
- Run `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
