Built with

  • React.js
  • D3.js
  • Bootstrap
  • HTML/CSS

How-to

  • Horizontal (x-axis) represents the estimated distance, in miles, from one arbitrary airport to another
  • Vertical (y-axis) represents the conversion rate from points to $1.00 USD. Higher points means less value
  • Each line represents the point value trend for one particular airline versus the distance of a particular trip
  • To toggle display of individual airline(s), select the checkbox next to the corresponding color-coded airline
  • Use the calculator to estimate point equivalence (functional at the moment, but with a wrong equation used)

Application limitations and shortcomings

  • Axis labels are a little crazy. Shift around with page resize
  • Horizontal axis values need to be shifted to match tick marks
  • Graph does not responsively resize
  • Limited sample data

Potential features

  • Update calculator equation for accuracy
  • Blogs or articles to discuss best travel credit card bonuses
  • Include more airlines and add hotel travel cards
  • Display ads
