GameOfBowens
In the Game of Bowens, you either win, or you fly
The Bowen is the unit of measurement of travel inconvenience, named for Richard Bowen, God of Travel Inconvenience.
Thus, a 1 Bowen Trip is one where there was a delay in one of the flights, but everything else went ok, while a 5-Bowen Trip might be one where a flight was canceled, leaving the unwitting traveler stranded overnight in DTW. Any flight that connects in CDG warrants at least +1 Bowen.
This application helps you calculate and track your Bowen ranking of your trips. We'll start with a web app, and possibly move on to a mobile app.
The Rules
Your Bowen score will be incremented (and, occasionally, decremented) by the following rules:
- Delays: +1 Bowen per hour delay
