Close, but no dice, hipmunk…

I’m a little confused as to how this is supposed to be the least agonising trip that Hipmunk, the travel search engine, could offer me. Their interfaces are certainly cute, but I would prefer feedback that says – “Whoa, we could give you super expensive and super stupid options, but that isn’t what we are about.”

Instead I got my choice of a flight for $8,327 or $11,280 that would take me to Detroit, then Amsterdam and then back to Aruba. Something just doesn’t seem right about that now does it?
