The Problem

Travelers face a gauntlet of obstacles when flights are cancelled or booking platforms charge hidden fees: opaque refund policies, unresponsive chatbots, months-long delays, and unexplained deductions that leave them out hundreds or thousands of dollars. Most travelers don't know their legal rights under regulations like EU261, DGCA rules, or the US DOT 24-hour cancellation rule, and even those who do lack the time and persistence to fight for compensation through escalations and formal complaints.

Potential Solution

A SaaS platform that monitors users' travel bookings via email/calendar integration, automatically detects cancellations or policy violations, and generates jurisdiction-aware claim letters pre-populated with the correct legal statutes and compensation amounts. The tool tracks claim status, auto-escalates to consumer protection bodies (DGCA, CAA, DOT, credit card chargeback), and surfaces the exact escalation email addresses and filing procedures needed to recover funds — removing the research burden entirely from the traveler.

Why Now?

Post-pandemic airline disruptions, fuel shortage-driven cancellations, and the explosion of opaque third-party OTAs (Kiwi, Agoda, MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip) have created a massive backlog of unresolved refund disputes, while AI-based claim drafting makes it newly feasible to automate jurisdiction-specific legal correspondence at scale.

your AI agent is the worst.This app cleverly removed every customer service contact number and connects us to a useless ai agent who never gets what we want and simply asks the same thing again and again and wastes our time. We simply want to get connected with an agent and it never connects and gives irrelevant solutions. very frustrating! never going to book again from this silly app!

MakeMyTrip - Flights & Hotels

My flight was cancelled due to operational issues. After two weeks, I received only half my refund, with deductions, while the remaining amount is still pending. The airline confirmed that the refund was sent to MakeMyTrip two weeks ago. So where is my money? MakeMyTrip’s generic replies to both 1-star and 5-star reviews say everything about its customer service. Absolutely unacceptable! I will never book through this agency again. Book directly with the
