how it works

No app to install. No dashboard to learn.
You text. We book.

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.

01

Tell us your preferences once

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.

5 minutes · only once
02

Send a message when you need to travel

"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.

~90 seconds to send · we do the rest
03

Approve. Then pay.

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.

Frankfurt → SF next Wed back Friday. Acme demo Thursday AM, two investor sit-downs Friday. Budget €5k. Need decent Wi-Fi on the long-haul — last LH 458 was patchy.

Got it. FRA → SFO Wed Jun 3 – Fri Jun 5. Cross-checked your calendar — Acme demo is on at 9:30 AM PT, your Friday investor sits at 2 PM PT.

Priya's working it now. Three options posted within 90 minutes. Track at trvl.so/?u=lukas.

Priya Joshi 3:48 PM
Three options ready. My pick — outbound LH 458 FRA-SFO upper deck 2A (your usual), return AF 84 SFO-CDG + onward AF 1018 CDG-BER. This earns your UA 1K on the way out and Delta Diamond on the way back. Hotel JW Marriott Union Square, Ambassador suite confirmed, gym verified.

€4,680 total — €45 below the Booking.com fare for the same itinerary. Auto-approved (under your €5k ceiling). Stripe payment link will arrive once you confirm.

what quietly changes

Six things that change
when a pro books your trip.

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.

01

Business class at near-economy.

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.

30–60% below published
02

Upgrade list, actually worked.

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.

70%+ upgrade clear rate
03

Lounge on every connection.

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.

lounge mapped to every leg
04

Loyalty maxed, never leaked.

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.

every leg, every program
05

Seat hand-picked from the live map.

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.

never middle, never 31E
06

Status year, preserved.

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.

One quiet page. Everything that matters.

why founders pick us

The four things MakeMyTrip and Expedia will never do for you.

Each of these compounds over a year of travel. Read them carefully.

01

Every flight earns to your account, not theirs.

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.

multi-alliance optimization · per trip
02

Same fare as Booking. Or we send the screenshot.

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.

fare match · transparent · auditable
03

Pay after. Not before.

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.

deferred payment · trust loop · Stripe-secured
04

Currency converts at interbank, not at 4%.

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.
