 TechCrunch disrupts here with Airwander and who are you? My name is Ella, I'm founder of Airwander. So it says here travel more, pay less, flight combination engine. So you combine different companies or what do you do? We combine flights. Let me show you how it works. So you look up to the full database, what's it called, the one that Google bought? Is that the one that has all the flights and prices? Well, we have our own partnerships. To get the database on every line? Yeah, we have our own database too. Where would you like to go? I'd like to go to Seychelles. Seychelles, that's a nice place. There's a Y here. S-E-Y. This one, the top one there. All right, we got it. Any particular day? Tomorrow. All right, that's going to be expensive, but let's do it. So this is kind of our biggest point between London and Seychelles. Nice, you can go through Paris is cheaper. Exactly. It shows you the price difference. So what's the price? So it's 632 from London and it would be cheaper if you go through Paris? Exactly, yeah. So how do I get to Paris? Is that included in this price? Yes, so now you can decide on the number of days. You can stop over somewhere. You can stop over, that's exactly what it is. Those are the lists of the places you can stop on the way. You can decide on the number of days. There's no limit to the number of days. You can stay for example 6 days somewhere. Also, those predictions are unique for every flight. So changes depend on your origin, destination and the number of days. This is what? The number of days you want to spend there? You want to spend and stop over in one of those cities. What if you go down to one? What happens? If you go down to one... And the prices update automatically? Yeah, they update automatically. I guess for this there's no update, there's the same price depends on... So what happens in Paris? What is the exact combination that you need to do? So now everyone there combines the flights for you. It looks for two one way flights and a multi-city flight. And whatever will be cheapest is going to be displayed as your top result. That's exactly what I needed to do last time. I had to go and it was cheaper to go through... I had to go in another country. But you do it automatically. We do it automatically. That's exactly what we did. Because we were going through that pain ourselves. And combining flights manually is so time consuming that we automated the process. So you can go ruling in Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines is the cheapest for now for some reason. So you chose to select? Oh, select, yeah. Then you went back. I went back. I want to try something else. Let's try... Maybe you want to check anywhere and see what other availability is there. You can do anywhere? You can do anywhere. And that's going to show you the cheapest places going from London. So let's see what it will have. For $21 you can go to Italy. Yes. But it's not a return, is it? No, this is just one way. One way. That would be a little bit crazy. Those are places you can go from UK and the prices. And you can go roundtrip? Yes, you can go roundtrip. But those are the predictions only for one way. We just launched so we don't have the predictions for roundtrips yet. So you just launched? We launched yesterday. We were part of the startup battlefield here in... Are you qualified for winnings? No, we then made it to the finals. Why? I don't know. This is fantastic. This is something everybody means, right? Thank you. How did you engineer this? Where are you based? We are based in San Francisco, but our team is very international. We have three people in Poland. I'm from Poland too. One person in Ukraine, one person in Canada, one person in India. So everybody's from somewhere else. And we work remotely, but our office now is in San Francisco. And it took us three years actually. It's not easy to do. Yes. We had a previous platform before. What is it? Is it HITMO? No. Is it MAMUNDO? No. Is it SKYSCANNER? No, we would be millionaires if that was SKYSCANNER. But no. It was called Quest Organizer. You probably didn't hear about it. It was kind of small, but we still had a lot of users. So it tested the idea. Like it confirmed that the idea works. Quest Organizer. Yes. But it wasn't easy on a user. That's why we created Airwander. And here are some other cool things you can do with Airwander. For example, this is a flight going from San Francisco. Oh, what's going on there? You can enter around the world. So you have three destinations and a stopover being in each destination. And that actually reduces your price significantly. Oh my God. You can go all the way around the world for this price? Actually, it's even better. Here's from London. This one is only 975 pounds. And you go to seven countries across five continents. And you actually cross the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. So you literally go around the world. And yeah, pretty much you can visit all those places for 975 pounds. That's crazy. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight flights. And you go around the world. It's not a return, it's around the world. It's around the world. It's a return. You start from London and you return from London. And in between you go to Madrid, Marrakesh, this is Barcelona, Los Angeles, Bali, Perth in Australia, and Chennai in India. That's amazing. Have you used your app yet? Yes, yes. Have you gone around the world? I'm using it constantly. No, I don't have time to go around the world suddenly. I was planning it this January, but it's not going to happen. But for example, every time I go from Poland to San Francisco, because I always do that, I always have a stopover. Last time I had a stopover in Reykjavik, so I visited Iceland for five days. Is it cheap? It's so cheap. Oh yeah, yeah. It was cheap. I combined two flights. I saved $700. That's 300 pounds or something, this... Yes, it is really cheap and Iceland is really beautiful. So I definitely recommend that as a stopover. Other cool stopovers are Dubai, for example, and Istanbul. Yeah, let's hope Istanbul is going to stay nice. Hopefully it gets a little dangerous. Now it's really cheap. If you want to go cheap, you can go Istanbul. Yes, you can go to Istanbul. So something I wonder is, sometimes I check Hipmunk, I check Google flights, and for some reason Momondo has cheaper, like, what you call those strange little companies that have cheaper discounts. Yes. Do you include those? How low does your price go? So currently we have partnerships with two OTAs. So later when you book the flight, we just send you and you can book the flight with them, because we don't take payments, we're only flight search engines. So we work exactly like Momondo and Sky Scanner. You do take a commission, right? Yes, we receive a commission. Every flight search engine receives the commission. That's how it works. Well, I think our website may be crushed. It could be that we have a lot of traffic. Oh, it's just slow here. Or maybe they enter. Oh, with cheaper air. Yeah. And you book your flight there. But sometimes Momondo has cheaper travel agents. There are cheaper travel agents. Could you add those? How do you do that? Yes, we definitely want to work on developing more partnerships, even the partnerships directly with the airlines. With the OTAs, it's good to watch out if you book the flight with an OTA to check their ratings and the reviews that they get. Some are very strange. Yes. You book and then they tell you, sorry, you have to pay more. You definitely want to avoid that. Or do you want to cancel? You get the money back in three weeks. Some strange like that, it happened to me. You definitely have to watch out with OTAs. It's better to check the reviews before you book the flight. So this is launched? This is launched if you go through... How recently did you launch? Airwander.com. When did you launch? We officially launched yesterday. Yes. And you are on a good server like Google Cloud or something, it's not going to crash? It's not going to crash. No, we're on AWS, it shouldn't crash. AWS, is she working? Maybe if we have, I don't know, 50,000 users a day that may crash. Is there any way I can put in my favorite, what's it called, airline partnership? Preferences. You know, I prefer one world to give nice miles. Yes, we have filters. It has to load again. Nice. But we have filters and we enable you to filter by alliance. And how can you really, is there some kind of a trick going on? Here you can filter. Because sometimes... Here are the airlines and the airports, you can filter by price, you can filter by layover if you want a shorter or longer layover, you can filter that. But you don't filter by what's called airline groups, what do you call those? Alliances. Alliances. Yes, we do. How do you do? One second. Somewhere in there. Yeah. Maybe in the airlines. Maybe in the airlines. Yeah. Okay. And yes. Can you sign up and get the notifications? Yes, we can. We are actually working on user accounts, so that will be our next big release. Hopefully in the next few days. Next few days, that's it. Your team is really fast. Yes, we try to be. So what's your job right now? You're the CEO. You're here to take crunch disrupt. What are you looking for? We're looking for investment. We're looking for hiring new people, for marketing, for development, and for partnerships. We want to definitely develop more partnerships of airlines and OTAs. And users. Of course, we want more users. Maybe you need users to have a community inside, behind a forum. People share good ideas for where to go for cheap. Yes. And maybe automatically they get a message. They get an email when there's some very good suggestion for them. Some very good deal. That would definitely be a good idea. Maybe we would need a person for that too, because we don't have time. So we would need a blogger. Or one more engineer. Yeah. Or one more travel blogger to write about this and write about promotions. Cool. That's awesome. What do you imagine next year? Are you going to be bigger than hip-lunk? We hope. It's possible, right? We hope will. It is possible. Definitely has a big potential. There's a lot of people interested in combining flights to find savings or to visit a stopover. It's definitely a value for the traveler. You can visit more places and you can save money on your travels. I spend sometimes days and days to try to find my stopovers. And you make it in one click? Yes, we make it in one click. This particular trip, the one that goes from London, we actually... Is that real or when you click sometimes the price might change because you don't have the latest prices? No, that is real. So this is real. Only sometimes you will have to maybe do the search again because sometimes the flight can expire. Like if I pull out, for example, a link that's like a week old, then the flight may expire so we have to reload it. But no, this is the real price. And it's really fast to do like this trip. It literally took us two minutes. Nice. There's some other couple of tricks that I've heard about when people buy return but they don't take the last leg, they skip a leg. That's called hidden city and skip-like dance. Skip-like. Do you do skip-like function? No, we don't have that function. You don't want to mess with that? We just focus on something else but if somebody wants to do that, they can go to skip-like dance. Alright, that's very cool.
