The Problem

Travelers frequently face phishing scams through legitimate booking platforms, last-minute cancellations without proper compensation, services paid for but never delivered, and prolonged refund disputes with agencies. Most consumers don't know their legal rights, lack the tools to document evidence systematically, and struggle to navigate complex dispute resolution processes across airlines, hotels, and travel agencies.

Potential Solution

A tool that monitors booking confirmation emails and messages to flag phishing attempts in real-time, automatically documents all paid services and communications as evidence, and generates ready-to-file compensation claims based on applicable regulations (DGCA rules, EU261, DOT rules, credit card chargeback procedures). The app guides users through dispute escalation with pre-filled complaint templates for consumer forums, regulatory bodies, and payment providers.

Why Now?

Post-pandemic travel has surged while booking fraud and service failures have escalated, with platforms like Booking.com facing widespread phishing attacks through their own messaging systems. Regulatory frameworks for passenger compensation exist globally but remain underutilized because consumers lack accessible tools to enforce their rights.

Expedia: Hotels, Flights, Cars

Horrible app Never buy any tickets off expedia. If you have any problems the website immediately sends you to ai which luckily knows it cant do anything to help you. But then, you get a real person and they cant even help you. If you need to cancel or refund your screwed and will be wasting hours on hours for one cancelation. Almost nothing can even be done in the app without going directly through the ai bot which from my experience has been the opposi

Goibibo: Hotel, Flight & Train

Goibibo, do you also operate on a dead body after it is already dead? My flight was already cancelled by the airline on 13 August. Today, on 3 September, I went to “My Trips” and selected one of your useless options, only to be told that I cancelled the ticket and, as per the airline, no refund will be issued. How could I possibly cancel a flight today when the flight had already been cancelled by the airline on 13 August? Because of these misleading and

AI agent not helpful The support feature is an AI agent and cannot help with any task id actually need support with. In travel often and if i need to contact an agent it’s for something more complicated than a rebook. In the future I hope to be able to talk to an agent more directly. Along with that when I do get to an agent they do not have any benefits working with the hotel or airline than me as a regular person, and you have to be on the app with them so it effectively does

Booking.com: Hotels & Travel

Absolutely useless bunch! Their "help desk" can't understand or resolve even the most basic issues. They take bookings for airlines and then when there is an issue, brush you off and tell you to contact the airline directly to resolve problems. Pointless, I could book directly with the airline and deal with their customer service instead then. NOTE: Their response says it all! 🤦

Capital One Travel

Useless Never book through them. Their price prediction feature is useless, and the “Price Match Guarantee” only applies when they recommend booking—which is rare. If your flight changes or the airline offers free cancellation or rebooking, you’re stuck with the third party’s policies. Even the airline may not be able to help because you booked through a third party.
