Hi everyone! The TRAVO team has been working on this challenging project for over a year and we're extremely excited to share it with all of you Product Hunters! We created this product because sometimes our purpose for travel isn't flexible in terms of timing. Personally, I had situations where I needed to get somewhere by some specific time for meetings, weddings, and other events by a specific time but the planning process seemed broken. Traditionally, almost every travel site optimizes for price while making timing flexible. Lots of day-long searches, or finding the cheapest weekend to go somewhere. In addition, they seemed to just give me a ton of flights that didn't work for my trip; leaving me sitting there trying to see if my flight gets in on time for my meeting. I also would always have my Google Maps open to see where my meeting is relative to the hundreds of hotel choices, and if there's in heavy traffic areas, getting from one place to another on time is pretty difficult. TRAVO optimizes for timing and requires the user to just input a single thing - a traveler's commitment location or date(s).
TRAVO uses billions of data points to formulate a complete itinerary and provide timing-centric tools around your objectives to modify flights, lodging, and ground transportation. We have every major flight carrier, over 800,000 lodging options, and ground options that include ridesharing, public transit and rentals. The entire trip is in front of you and any changes you make will instantly recalculate your trip. We also make it easy to share with friends and co-workers. I think there are lots of different uses for this product and I'm excited to make it open and completely free to the public and see what people do with it! Happy to answer any questions you have!
