Airial Travel
Hello Product Hunt 👋
Today is a big day for us. We're excited to share Airial Travel with the Product Hunt community. Airial is the personal travel agent with AI superpowers. Simply describe your trip to Airial or drop in your favorite travel TikToks or IG reels and watch your dream trip come to life, fully planned and ready to book!
Sanjeev @sanjeev_shenoy1 and I co-founded Airial Travel a year ago to solve a problem we faced repeatedly. Being avid travelers, we were traveling for several months a year and spending multiple days planning and booking each trip. Hours and hours of research, browsing, watching videos, form-filling, spreadsheets, refinements etc. As we dug deeper, we realized that the scale and the intensity of this problem is stunning - hundreds of millions of trips are booked online every year and planning each of them takes over five hours on average.
Our vision “Just imagine your trip, and Airial it!” stems from our ultimate wish as travelers - AI that can figure out all the intricacies of trip planning for you - hotels, activities, flights, trains, transits, deals, date options, restaurants, interests, research, travel videos and everything else.
Airial is the only travel planner out there today which creates plans crafted to the last detail, like a a travel agent truly would. We pick flights, hotels, transportation and plan every single day of your trip in detail around these choices and your preferences. The defining features that set us apart from competition originate from the core beliefs that Airial is built on:
📅 Detailed intricately crafted plans: Attention to detail makes trip plans incredible. Airial plans trips in a level of detail that is simply unmatched, taking care of hundreds of common sense constraints across thousands of variables in seconds.
🚀 From Reels to Itineraries: TikTok / IG reels to Trips is work that millions do manually. We now enable all this in a click. This is the intersection of the two big trends in travel - AI and Socials.
🏖️ Personalized Planning: Travel portals today are one-size-fits-all. We plan trips tailored to your specific interests - architecture tours, scenic hikes or samurai sword fighting lessons!
👆 Actionable Itineraries: Just having a chatbot pick out one combination for you isn’t practically useful. Which was the last trip you planned that didn’t need any refinement? Every decision Airial makes for you is changeable via chat or UI controls.
🌎 Discovery in context: As you plan your trip, Airial gives you the tools to discover incredible ideas and expert advice specific to your itinerary and interests which can be instantly imported into your trip.
Vacations are for relaxation. Planning them shouldn’t be an added burden. With Airial, planning trips is as easy as dreaming them up!
@sanjeev_shenoy1 @archit_karandikar Guyz, i just love the UX. This makes the app so much better than using ChatGPT to do this stuff. Enjoy the launch!
Airial Travel
@imraju Glad to know you liked it! We believe travel planning should be fun and Airial helps you visualise the entire plan in a highly comprehensive & detailed way. It's an experience in itself! :)

@sanjeev_shenoy1 @archit_karandikar It's perfect for times like these, and I'm going to Tokyo next week so I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Airial's vision of turning travel dreams into instant AI-crafted itineraries is brilliant—especially loving how it integrates TikTok/IG inspo for Gen Z wanderlust! Can it sync with booking platforms like Expedia or Airbnb for seamless reservations?
Airial Travel
@desmond_ren1 Thank you! Tiktok and IG are increasingly becoming the primary way in which people discover interesting places and we are giving a way to seamlessly turn those inspirations into bookable trips. Today we are integrated with Booking.com, Skyscanner and Kiwi. We're unlocking new partnerships to bring even more integrations into the platform. Stay tuned for that

Congratulations on the launch. About time somebody built it.
how does the platform ensure the acuracy and reliability of the information provided, such as real-time availability and pricing of flights and accommodations?
Airial Travel
@faizanjan_ Thank you for the appreciation and excellent question about accuracy!
For flights and accommodations, we're currently operating as a metasearch engine, connecting to major booking platforms to pull real-time pricing and availability data. When you click to book, you're taken directly to the source for the most current information.
We've built several verification layers into our system. First, we regularly validate our data sources against actual bookings to ensure reliability. Second, we've implemented what we call "reality checks" - algorithms that flag when something seems off (like a hotel price that's unusually low or a flight connection that's too tight).
That said, the travel industry is notorious for frequent changes, so we always recommend confirming critical details before finalizing bookings. We're working on adding real-time alerts for price changes and availability updates in a future update.
Thanks for highlighting this crucial aspect of travel planning - accuracy is something we take very seriously!

I really like how Airial Travel has reimagined travel using a Gen AI product rather than just adding a chatbot onto the existing interface. As you start using Airial, you will see how thoughtfully it is designed to make the planning experience easy at every stage.

@benln Thanks for the kind words and for hunting our launch, Ben!

Congrats on the launch - the travel space is just starting to see the impact of AI, exciting times ahead. Question - is Airial currently focused just on trip planning, or also be a companion on the trip when you are there? Personally, I tend to plan the big rocks - what cities/towns on what days + accomodations, but go with the flow when I'm on my trip. Curious if this is something where it auto-adapts as plans change etc. Would be pretty cool to have an app that's not just about planning but also a sidekick when on trip.
Airial Travel
@ragsontherocks Yes absolutely! This is actually where our reasoning layers enable you to simply describe your situation and the AI optimizes everything for you. Once a trip is created you can always open the trip and chat with it. You can add a comment like 'I am feeling lazy today' and the AI will make the day relaxed for you while optimizing the rest of the itinerary (which may involve moving some must-do things in today's plan to other days)
Also we're working hard on the app! Stay tuned for that
Jo
@sanjeev_shenoy1 I'd be down for the 'I'm feeling lazy today' mode :) Cool stuff man - wish you well! Going to play around with Airial over the weekend.
Airial Travel
@ragsontherocks haha for sure! Thank you and let us know if you have any feedback. Super valuable for us!
Jo
@sanjeev_shenoy1 Impressed. I have been dreaming about a trip to the Albanian Riviera and got a pretty solid plan! Some feedback on things that caught my eye on a quick test run:
+ Gave a reference of a small hotel on the beach in Negril we've stayed previously at as the vibe i was going for, and seems to have done a good job of it.
+ I like the UI hierarchy choices, itineraries can be dense but the important info was highlighted well.
+ The original choice routed me through Tirana, but when I asked to instead start from Corfu - really smart adaptations, including boats instead of cars etc.
Whats the difference between this and ChatGPT? Isn't this just a wrapper around ChatGPT with focus on travel promts?
Airial Travel
@jasper_enholm Great question! Airial is definitely not just a wrapper around ChatGPT with travel prompts.
The key differences are in both the underlying technology and the specialized capabilities:
We built a custom AI system designed specifically for travel planning that handles complex dependencies - when you edit one part of a trip (like extending your stay), everything else (flights, activities, hotels) updates automatically. This kind of precise editing is something generic LLMs struggle with.
Airial integrates directly with flight and hotel data sources to provide real pricing and availability, not just suggestions.
Our system understands travel logistics in a way ChatGPT doesn't - like optimizing travel routes between cities, accounting for local transportation options, and planning activities based on proximity.
The social media integration that extracts travel details from TikToks and Instagram reels required building specialized vision-language models.
Airial maintains consistency across multi-city itineraries spanning weeks - something that exceeds the context window and reasoning capabilities of standard chat models.
You can definitely use ChatGPT for travel ideas, but Airial handles the complete end-to-end planning with much greater depth and accuracy. If you try both for planning a complex multi-city trip, you'll see the difference immediately.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for building this :)
I am planning for a vacation next month. I have my itinerary ready. But now that Instagram has caught on my travel plans, it keeps sharing more and more content for places to visit. I'm kind of conflicted whether is is worth changing my plans, I will surely try using your product to get all the recommendations from my saved reels in one place (I was initially planning to use ChatGPT for this but the ability to add to a map is so cool!) Can I add to an existing Google Map that have saved for the trip?
Airial Travel
@aishwaryalohi Thanks! We often found ourselves saving cool reels and then later searching the places in the reels in Google Maps and yes often making custom maps. This process just takes so long and we figured with AI, there's no reason to do it manually anymore. Today you can view all added Reels on a map shown on the product. Adding to an existing Google map is something we're actively working on :)
