Yes, exactly, it’s this search time that costs us the most, especially with flights. We already have so little free time that having to search directly on the platform would make a huge difference. It would save us one more click, one less to lose.

The TravelFlix platform, which is supposed to help organize vacations, seems just another waste of time if it doesn't meet the real user needs.
Criteria like price and weather are important, but there's a lack of management of budget constraints or travel time.
I can't afford to waste energy searching for information that a platform promises to simplify, like finding affordable accommodation with a kitchen to limit expenses.

Honestly, does TravelFlix with its search bars and favorites lists really reduce mental load when looking for vacations? Listing options is nice, but if I still have to manually sort through to find what fits my limited budget and exam dates, where's the benefit? An actual help would include filters for financial constraints or even availability based on my exams. Time and energy are precious and finite for me; I can't waste them comparing things I could never afford.

Okay, TravelFlix can help organize vacation ideas, but it doesn't solve the fundamental constraints of my limited resources.
When my budget is tight, the platform can show me options, but it doesn't create the money or the time I lack.
It's just another tool that makes me spend attention comparing, which is already a spent resource when I need to work.
For example, I always have to look for real flight prices on other sites, even after "comparing" on a platform, so the time saved is minimal.

That TravelFlix is a part of the needs for choosing a destination is a bit strong anyway.
The real need is reliable information on price and weather because my budget and time are limited.
If the platform doesn't give me that directly, it's just one more tool that will dissipate my resources.
For example, if TravelFlix just shows me beautiful photos without telling me the exact cost of a flight or hotel, I will have to look elsewhere and lose valuable time.

It's true, a single platform can't overcome the lack of money or time, but it's the system's feedback loop that is interesting. The problem often comes from the tight coupling between idea searching and real-time availability checks for flights and hotels. If these two steps were more integrated, we could see a significant reduction in the time spent juggling between tabs, freeing up some of that precious attention.
