I built the thing
I kept wishing
existed.

A Senior PM who travels too much. A group trip that broke. And a subway ride that cost $90.

Who I am

My name is Jay. I work as a Senior Product Manager. I have been a problem solver my whole life. That is just how my brain is wired. And I also happen to love traveling more than most things.

Fifteen countries. Twenty nine states. At least two international trips a year. I genuinely cannot sit still when there is a world out there I have not seen yet.

I travel because the version of life you see inside a nine to five is only half the picture. You get on a plane, land somewhere completely different, and something resets. I have been chasing that reset for years.

But every single time I tried to book a flight, I kept running into the same wall. And one group trip finally made me stop ignoring it.

The group trip

Me and my friends wanted to plan a trip together. We all work at different companies so we are never in the same room. We did a full whiteboard session. Mapped out the whole itinerary. Figured out the dates. Set up price trackers on three different apps.

The plan was simple. When the price drops, we all get a notification, and we all go book it. Clean. Coordinated. Done.

"I got the notification. I booked. Then I texted the group. One friend was in a meeting. Another was probably in the shower."

By the time they checked their phones the price had moved. One of them paid 20% more. The other paid 25% more and on top of that, by the time he got to the booking page, the fare that included a carry on bag was gone. He had to pay extra for the bag too.

Same trip. Same plan. Three different prices. Two frustrated friends. And me sitting there thinking this is a solved problem that nobody has actually solved.

When it became personal

After that trip something shifted. Friends started reaching out. Family too. "Jay, you travel a lot, is this a good price?" "Jay, I have been searching for an hour, should I just book this?" "Jay, I am using all the AI tools but I still have to go through like 55 different websites to actually finish the booking."

I became everyone's informal travel person. I did not mind. But what it kept showing me was the same thing every time. People are not bad at finding flights. They are stuck in a loop that no existing tool had actually fixed.

Then it happened to me. NYC to Nashville. I had a price alert set. The notification came in. $132, direct flight, bags included. A real deal. But I was on the subway commuting back, underground. By the time the train pulled into the station and I got signal again, twenty minutes had passed. I opened the app. The price was $222.

"Ninety dollars gone. Because of a subway ride and twenty minutes underground."

That was the moment. Not the group trip. Not the friend calls. That specific moment, sitting there staring at a price that moved while I was not even looking.

I opened my notes app and typed one question. What if I just never had to be there?

What I actually built

Let me be clear about something. I am not trying to beat Kayak. I use Kayak. I have used Google Flights, Skyscanner, Hopper, all of them for years. They are genuinely good at what they do.

The problem is not that they are bad. It is that every single one of them stops at the same place. They find the deal, put it in front of you, and then say: your move. And life does not pause while you make that move.

Fliovoy does not hand it back. You tell us your criteria once. Where you want to go, your budget, your dates, what you will and will not accept. When the right flight shows up, we book it. While you are in that meeting. While you are at dinner. While you are asleep.

You wake up with a confirmed ticket in your inbox.

But here is the thing I kept coming back to. Even when the perfect flight at the perfect price finally shows up, most people still miss it — because the moment never lines up with real life. You are in a meeting. You are asleep. You see the fare, think "let me check with my partner," and by the time you are back, it is gone.

That timing gap is the real enemy. And it needed its own answer.

So we made the booking itself hands-off. You set the route, the ceiling you will pay, and how you like to fly — then you walk away. Fliovoy watches the fare around the clock, and the instant one lands inside your rules, it books it and charges the card you saved. No hovering over a browser. No "I'll wait until next paycheck." No deal slipping by because the timing was slightly off.

That is the version of travel I wanted to exist. The one that works around real life, not against it.

Who this is for

Honestly? This is for almost anyone who travels.

It is for the person who has a trip coming up, knows roughly when they want to go, but does not want to spend their evenings glued to flight apps refreshing prices. They want to be present. With their partner. Their kids. Their friends. Not stuck in a browser tab spiral trying to figure out if Tuesday is actually cheaper than Wednesday.

It is for the person who has a dream trip in mind but the timing never lines up financially. They want to go, they just need a way to get there without one big transaction catching them off guard. The micro savings feature exists for exactly them.

It is for the person in their 20s booking their first solo trip. The couple in their 30s trying to actually use their PTO. The family in their 40s coordinating schedules. The empty nesters finally doing the trips they kept putting off. The retiree who has the time now and just wants someone to handle the details.

If you have ever closed a flight search tab feeling like you wasted two hours and still did not book anything, this is for you.

"You set the rules. We handle the rest. Go enjoy your life."

I built the product I kept wishing existed. For the people who feel exactly what I felt on that subway platform, ninety dollars poorer, staring at a price that moved while I was not looking.

If that is you, you are in the right place.

Stop searching.
Start arriving.
