If you’ve got time to travel and a healthy dose of adventure, a new app promises flight discounts if you let it pick your destination.
GetGoing, a San Francisco startup, offers savings of up to 40 percent to users who book a flight through the service. The catch: GetGoing does the choosing for you.
In a system called “Pick Two, Get One,” users pick two destinations from search results and the app makes the final choice.
GetGoing asks for your nearest airport and your search criteria: city, region name, or “experience,” which ranges from “Family-Friendly Travel” to “Skiing Exotic Destinations.” Choose your travel dates and the app does the rest for you, lending an element of surprise to the process.
Says Alex Vernitsky, co-founder and CEO of GetGoing, “You can easily find places that are affordable, that are fun for you to go to. That was the very idea: to get people who want to get on the road and see the world, and enable them to do it at a big discount.”
The savings come from the app’s relationship with airlines, many of which have empty seats to fill.
Currently GetGoing is only available for leisure travelers.
