The Problem

Travelers who book through third-party OTAs (GoToGate, Cleartrip, Sky Lux, etc.) frequently face schedule changes, booking failures, and unjustified fees with little recourse. When airlines or agencies cancel or alter flights, passengers are left scrambling to rebook at inflated prices, navigate convoluted refund processes, and deal with unresponsive customer service. Multi-leg and multi-airline itineraries add further risk since a single disruption can cascade into unrecoverable losses.

Potential Solution

A SaaS platform that continuously monitors all your flight bookings (via PNR tracking and email parsing) and instantly alerts you to schedule changes, cancellation risks, or PNR failures. The service automatically initiates dispute submissions, refund claims, and compensation requests based on applicable consumer protection regulations (EU261, DOT rules), and surfaces rebooking alternatives at current prices before fares spike further.

Why Now?

Post-pandemic OTA proliferation has dramatically increased the share of flights booked through third-party intermediaries, where consumer protections are harder to enforce and customer service is notoriously poor. High-profile fuel shortage disruptions and airline instability in 2024–2025 have made proactive booking monitoring a genuine necessity rather than a nice-to-have.

How do you handle cases where one site is showing a different cancellation policy or refund terms for what looks like the same tour? Comparing just the price without the fine print could end up being misleading.

The is this fare actually going to ticket? angle is the killer feature for me. Finding a $180 flight to Europe is great. Finding out the airline canceled it AFTER you booked a nonrefundable hotel is not
