Straight answers about how TravelGPT finds fares, who checks them, how complex bookings work, and what everything costs. Can't find your question? Ask the chat — it answers these too.
Searching, chatting and price alerts are free, forever. We earn a commission from the agency or airline when you book — the same commission they'd pay any comparison site. Membership tiers are optional and only add discounts, loyalty multipliers and perks.
No. You can chat, see live fares and browse the deal board without signing up. You only sign in when you want to open a booking request, arm a price alert, or use your wallet.
Type a sentence, the way you'd text a travel agent: "Cheap flights to Bali in March under $900". The AI reads intent, dates, budget and flexibility — no dropdowns, no fifteen filters. Trip-type chips (Flights, Stays, Packages, Things to do, Cruises) focus the search if you already know what you want.
Yes — and unusually, every published fare passed a human review first. Our AI collects fares from live searches, then a reviewer confirms the price and route before it appears publicly. Anything that fails the check never reaches you. Each fare also carries a validity window so you know how long it stands.
Two ways. First, we search far wider than a single inventory feed — 1,500+ airlines, OTAs, consolidators and regional agencies. Second, when nobody has a good price for your route, we open your request to agencies who then bid against each other for your booking.
The Best Deals board is the full list of currently published, human-reviewed fares — filterable and sortable. The homepage shows only today's picks; the board carries everything.
Because real fares expire. Airlines reprice constantly; a published fare shows its validity window, and when it lapses we remove it rather than bait you with a price that no longer exists.
Yes — this is where TravelGPT earns its keep. Describe the whole itinerary in one message: "London → Bali March 12, Bali → Tokyo March 20, Tokyo → home April 2, two adults and a child." The AI keeps every leg in context, and your booking request goes to agencies as one job, so connections, layovers and hotel nights line up instead of you stitching six separate bookings together.
Yes. Ask for any combination — flight + 4-star hotel near the beach + airport transfer + travel insurance. The composer accepts long, detailed briefs (it expands as you type), and agencies bid on the full package.
State the group size and constraints ("8 friends, split across two hotel rooms, budget $700 each"). Agencies see the full brief and bid with group rates that never appear on consumer booking sites.
An OTA shows you one inventory feed and wishes you luck. TravelGPT searches 1,500+ sources, has a human check the fare, and — when no good price exists — lets agencies compete for your booking. Read the full comparison on How we work.
Yes. Accept an offer and we place a temporary pre-authorization hold, confirm live availability through our Concierge Desk or verified partner agency, and capture payment only once your confirmation reference (PNR) is issued. Everything — bookings, printable vouchers, alerts, and wallet — lives in your cabinet.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, or Google Pay via Stripe, plus your Travel Wallet. Bookings use a Stripe manual pre-authorization hold ($0 charged until your PNR is confirmed), and Travel Wallet payments carry zero booking fees.
No. The price you accept is the price you pay. Discounts are funded from our commission — they never inflate the provider's base price. Wallet payments carry zero booking fees at all.
Before your PNR is issued, you can self-cancel in your cabinet for free — your Stripe pre-authorization hold is voided ($0 fee) and any applied Travel Wallet credits return immediately. Once your PNR is confirmed and ticketed, cancellations and changes follow the airline, hotel, or supplier fare rules via our Concierge Desk (read the full Refund Policy).
Tell the chat to monitor a route and we watch that exact trip around the clock across every source we track. The moment the fare drops — or falls under a target you set — you get pinged. Most travellers arm an alert and book two to three weeks later at a materially lower price.
No — price alerts are free for everyone, including signed-out visitors once they create an account to attach the alert to. Members simply get notified earlier on flash deals (2h early on Premium, 6h on VIP).
Your free route alert notifies you by email the moment our scanner or a verified agency posts a lower fare under your target. If you already hold an uncaptured pre-PNR reservation or a flexible/refundable ticket, our Concierge Desk can help you switch with your explicit approval — we never change a confirmed trip silently.
Premium ($35/mo) takes 5% off every booking, triples your Super Ticket raffle entries and shows flash deals 2 hours early. VIP ($99/mo) takes 8% off, adds airport transfers, lounge passes and flex-cancel. Full comparison on the plans page.
Credits can cover up to 50% of any booking (minimum $25 card payment), with a $200/month redemption allowance. Raffle winnings, affiliate commissions, Growth Point conversions and top-ups all live in the same wallet.
Yes. Plans renew monthly and cancel at the end of the paid period — you keep the perks until then. No lock-in, no cancellation fee.
A performance ladder from 3% (Explorer) to 7% (Legend) of completed referred bookings — your rate climbs with lifetime referred bookings, never with a purchased subscription. Commissions are credited to your Travel Wallet. Details and the earnings calculator are on the affiliate page.
No — the program is free. You get a personal referral link, landing page and a banner kit in your portal, plus real click/signup/booking analytics.
Register as a provider, get verified by our team, and client booking requests matching your inventory appear in your portal. You bid with a real, confirmable price; the client picks the offer they like. Commission runs 5–10% depending on your tier.
Every public Market fare collected by our parser passes a human reviewer before it appears on the Deal Board, and partner agencies must be team-verified with active escrow payout onboarding before bidding on client requests. Together, this keeps bait pricing and phantom inventory off the platform.
The same AI that finds fares answers questions about routes, budgets and what's worth booking. Free, no account needed.
