Your name, work email, and a number we can reach you on. That's all we need to start. No card.
Same door either way. Give us an email or a mobile number and we'll send a six-digit code — no password to remember.
One line on Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, or email. Rakhi — your EA at trvl.so — works every tactic in the book: lowest published fare, hidden-city when it pays, the right seat, every loyalty number stacked. Approver in the loop. Expense-ready. Trip locked before any card is charged.
Use whatever chat tool you already live in. Your travel agent reads your message, books to your loyalty numbers and seat preferences, and sends you the trip details before any money moves.
A 5-minute form: which airlines and hotels you prefer, your frequent-flyer numbers, seat type, dietary needs, who approves spend. We save it so you never have to repeat yourself.
"Chicago to SF Wednesday, back Friday, demo Thursday morning." Send it however you already chat with us — Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, or email. Within hours, you get back 2–3 options with fares, seats, and hotel details laid out.
Pick one. We confirm the booking, then send you a single Stripe payment link with everything itemised — flights, hotel, ground, our flat fee. Your card never touches our system until you've seen the full trip locked in.
Most travel tools stop at the flight and hand the rest back to you. Your agent doesn't. She books the flight, picks and books the hotel, and files the visas — and she tells you what she did and why.
Send it however it arrives in your head — "Sydney to Delhi via Singapore and Phuket, back on the 30th" is a complete brief. You get a shortlist of genuinely different routings side by side, one recommendation, and the reason behind it.
Booked on the chains where you already hold status, so your tier actually applies — late checkout, the upgrade, the breakfast. And re-shopped before you pay, because hotel rates move far more than airfares in the weeks before a stay.
Every country on your itinerary checked against your passport — including the ones you only pass through, which is where people get caught. Then she files the applications for you.
One thing worth being straight about: there is no robot doing this. Software puts the options in front of your agent — it doesn't choose your hotel or fill in your visa form. A person does that, and you can ask her why.
Same flights. Same dates. Different person at the keyboard. You arrive in 2A, walk past the line, sit in the lounge, and land with your status year intact.
The same itinerary, in business — 30 to 60% below the published business fare. We know which Star Alliance partner is running the same metal cheaper. We know when transferring 80K Chase points beats $3,000 in cash. We know which day flips fare class. The price you saw on Kayak is not the price you should pay.
GPUs deployed on the ten-hour legs, not the two-hour ones. PlusPoints stacked on the segment that clears, not the one that doesn't. Instrument-upgrade fares booked when they clear cheap, not paid for when they don't. We clear 70%+ of eligible domestic upgrades — because we know how the list actually moves.
Your Sapphire Reserve's Priority Pass, your Centurion at ATL and JFK, your Star Gold across every Star Alliance international, a paid pass when there's a gap. We map your card-status matrix to every airport you transit and walk you to the right door. Coach gate seats stop being part of your trip.
The right loyalty number on the right alliance on the right leg. Star Gold benefits applied when you fly UA partners. SkyTeam Elite Plus credited to KLM via Atlanta. BA Tier Points pursued when you fly AA. The "we forgot to add your number" miles loss does not happen here.
We know which 787-9 seats lean cold, which A350 row is over the engine, which 777-300ER 2A is the actual best seat on the plane and not just the one Hopper shows. We know which sub-fleet has Wi-Fi worth using. 31E does not exist in our seat-pick set. Ever.
Your United 1K threshold is 54,000 PQF. Your Marriott Ambassador is 100 nights and $23K spend. We track. When you're 4,000 PQF short in November, we route through the bonus-PQF promo airline of the moment. Status retention is treated as a deliverable, not a side-effect of frequency.
Your profile stays on the left. Loyalty numbers blurred until you click. Your current trip sits on the right with live flight status, hotel detail, and the exact miles you're earning — so the value compounds in front of you, every trip.
Each of these compounds over a year of travel. Read them carefully.
OTAs route to the highest-commission carrier. We route to your loyalty number — across alliances. One round trip can credit your United, Delta, and Marriott accounts simultaneously. Over 24 months the average founder earns roughly $8,000 in loyalty currency we recovered that an OTA would not have credited.
The price you see is the lowest published fare on that route, for that date. If the same itinerary is cheaper on Booking, Expedia, or your direct airline portal, we match it and send the screenshot. No markup. No commission baked in. No bundle tricks.
Your card never moves until the trip is locked, the seat is held, and the hotel is confirmed. We front the vendor cost ourselves. You owe us only after every detail is reviewed and approved in Slack. No card on file. No autopay. No surprise charges.
USD vendor cost is paid from our INR account at the day's interbank rate. Your credit card would have added a 3–4% foreign transaction fee plus a 1–2% Visa/Mastercard markup. On a $2,500 trip, that's $100–150 you don't lose to FX.
SF for the board. NYC for the raise. London for the partner. Tokyo for the OEM. Bengaluru for the team.
Every preference captured upfront. Your agent never asks twice. After the form, we open a chat thread with you within the hour — Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, or email, whichever you prefer — and your first trip is on us. No card needed to start.
Loyalty numbers, seat, hotel chains, who has to approve spend. We work from what's there.
You pick how you want to chat — Slack Connect, WhatsApp, iMessage, or email — and we open the thread with you. One click. No app to install.
Message however we chat (Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, email). A real EA does the booking. We waive the service fee. You pay vendor cost only.
Vendor cost passes through at exact amount, auditable on request. No commission, no markup, no per-booking surprise. Annual prepay saves 17% on any tier.
Your first booking is always free, on every tier · Annual prepay saves 17% on subscriptions · Cancel anytime · Vendor cost passes through at exact amount.
