About the Company

A global online travel platform offering flights, hotels, and vacation packages through its website and mobile app. The platform processes millions of flight searches daily and delivers dynamic pricing to ensure customers receive competitive fares. Operating in 200+ countries with partnerships across hundreds of airlines and thousands of hotels, the company continues to invest in mobile experiences to capture spontaneous and last-minute bookings.

Business Challenge

Before implementing Bicycle AI, the company faced challenges in maximizing flight booking conversions and maintaining user engagement:

  • High Search Volume, Low Conversion: Millions of daily flight searches often did not convert into bookings due to fluctuating fares and delayed notifications.
  • Fragmented Price Tracking: Monitoring fare changes across multiple routes, airlines, and travel dates was complex and lacked real-time automation.
  • Reactive Marketing: Users often missed price drop opportunities, leading to reduced engagement and lost revenue.
  • User Fatigue Risk: It was difficult to balance timely alerts without overwhelming subscribers.
  • Limited Personalization: Notifications were generic, missing contextual details such as specific routes, travel windows, or user preferences.

These challenges led to lower conversion rates, inefficient marketing operations, and limited ability to act on fast-moving price opportunities.

Solution and Implementation

The company deployed Bicycle AI to unify flight search, pricing, and subscription data into a real-time monitoring and alerting system. Leveraging event-driven architecture, statistical anomaly detection, and intelligent automation, Bicycle AI enabled instant visibility and action across millions of flight searches.
