Travel Technology

AI-powered flight search, multi-supplier hotel platforms, and real airline reservations. From natural language queries to confirmed bookings with PNR generation.

AI-Powered Flight Search Platform

Challenge

Traditional flight search requires exact dates, airports, and parameters. Users describe trips naturally but systems demand structured input.

What We Built

  • Natural language processing with Google Gemini AI
  • Amadeus API integration for real-time flight data
  • Extracts entities: origin, destination, dates, cabin class, budget, preferences
  • Handles relative dates ("next month", "Thanksgiving", "Christmas")
  • AI price prediction with historical trend analysis
  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture with organization support
  • Conversational chat interface with search history

Results

  • Users describe trips naturally: "I want snow for Thanksgiving with my family"
  • AI extracts all parameters automatically
  • Real-time pricing from Amadeus flight API
  • Price trend predictions (rising/falling/stable)
  • Booking timing recommendations based on historical data
  • Production-ready on Google Cloud Run

Technologies: FastAPI, Google Gemini, Amadeus API, PostgreSQL, Next.js, Cloud Run

Multi-Supplier Hotel Booking Platform

Challenge

Hotel booking requires checking multiple suppliers, handling instant vs on-request bookings, and deduplicating hotel data across sources.

What We Built

  • Multi-supplier integration with several hotel providers
  • Canonical database with intelligent hotel matching
  • Instant confirmation vs on-request booking workflows
  • Meilisearch for fast hotel discovery
  • Admin SLA management (24-hour confirmation)
  • Image collection from multiple sources (property, rooms, amenities)
  • Price updates with destination grouping
  • WordPress to Next.js migration with zero downtime

Results

  • 100+ hotels ingested from multiple suppliers
  • Duplicate consolidation (755 → 737 unique hotels)
  • Flexible booking: instant confirmation or 24hr request
  • Fast search with Meilisearch indexing
  • Multi-supplier rate comparison
  • Admin workflow with email notifications
  • Production deployment

Technologies: Next.js, Node.js, Hotel Supplier APIs, PostgreSQL, Meilisearch, Cloud Storage

Real Airline Reservations with PNR Generation

Challenge

Flight booking requires creating actual airline reservations, not just holding quotes. Must handle PNR generation, ticket numbers, and API failures gracefully.

What We Built

  • Amadeus Create Flight Orders API integration
  • Automatic PNR (Passenger Name Record) extraction
  • Ticket number tracking
  • Graceful error handling (bookings saved even if API fails)
  • Quote validation before final booking
  • Full passenger detail capture
  • Booking status management (confirmed/failed)

Results

  • Real airline reservations with official PNRs
  • Automatic ticket number extraction
  • Complete booking lifecycle from quote to confirmation
  • Robust error handling prevents data loss
  • Customer receives PNR and order ID immediately
  • Full Amadeus response stored for auditing
