Just tossin' this out there...

Just tossing this out there for an "I told you so" in 20 years: As we get congestion and road use pricing, I want a system that's smart enough to suggest that there's a show I might enjoy in my destination city if I go the night before and stay over, when going early might be cheaper...

You get the same cost effects when dealing with airfare but no one has found a good way to automate the decision making. Choosing "my dates are flexible" and then parsing the tables yourself works better. But there may be a way to automatically find a sub-optimal yet better choice and offer it as a package.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
