Avionero is a new generation of travel planning apps. With the help of an AI-based recommendation engine, we are finding the best flights and matching hotels for any scenario you might have. – World’s largest inventory of flights. We search flights on major travel sites and directly with the airlines too, to give you the world’s largest selection of flights and prices. – Discover new places based on what you want to experience. Instead of picking a specific city or airport you can specify a country, continent, or even anywhere and get flights+hotels in one search. Want to get some inspiration for your vacation? Choose themes like “beach” or “warm destinations”. – Find the best dates to fly with flexible dates. Instead of picking a specific departure and return date, you can now select any flexible range of dates or weekends. Our AI-based recommendation engine will then find the best combination of dates. – Save time by looking up Flights and Hotels in a single search. We find you flights and hotels, but unlike package tours, we still leave it up to you to select the hotel that's best for you and your trip. – Plan your whole travel on one site instead of jumping from site to site. You can create multiple tabs on Avionero to organize your trips better. These tabs will also help you to easily compare several options. – Best flight out of thousands of options with AI-based Recommendation Engine. We let the machine do its job. Instead of manually checking dozens of date and destination combinations our AI recommendation engine will find the best options for you, considering relevance, price, and value. – Pick flights with less CO2 emission. Next to flight details, you can see CO2 equivalents calculated by our partner, Trikorona. It will help make a greener choice. You can also compensate for your carbon footprint here. Our mission is to constantly push the limits of how to make travel planning easier. Avionero was founded in 2015 by Lars Kristensson and Anton Tyulenev to build a better way to search for flights. Released in 2018, we’ve launched in 12 countries including Nordics, Russia, Spain, and Bolivia. Most of today’s flight search sites are built on the same search technology as back in the ‘90s. Some of our competitors have made attempts to modernise their services, but few have done it through a fundamentally different approach to technology and UX. Being active travelers ourselves, we created a travel planning site that solved our own need for flexibility and travel exploration. Contact us if you have any questions or suggestions! We appreciate any feedback. hello@avionero.com
