Another quick question: have seen some similar things (lola, pana) - is Journy different?
Susan Ho
@nickbudden Totally! We're fans of lola and Pana actually and both are great at helping you with flights and hotel bookings, or a reservation here or there. Journy is unique in that: 1) We're the only one who focuses on what you should do when you arrive to your destination in its entirety. Not only can we arrange your reservations, but we can also tell you the best order to visit everything in, and we're best equipped to answer questions like β€” if I can only do one 3-star Michelin restaurant in Paris, which one should it be? 2) Because of that, we're also the only one with an interface that makes it easy for a traveler to easily access the information they need on their itinerary. 3) Journy recommendations come from hand-picked experts. 4) Journy doesn't do flight bookings. We do help with hotel and can snag perks for our travelers there.

I am curious why did you decide to charge per day?
Susan Ho
@cemedericarak Hey Cem, we actually started with a flat rate model of $50 / trip, up to 7 days. However, many people wanted shorter trips and if you're only using Journy for 1-2 days, it doesn't make sense to pay $50. The per day planning makes sense both for the customer, and from a planning perspective since there are human elements that increase with increased number of days (e.g., number of reservations you might need).

@susan_ho Makes sense. Thank you for explaining it!

This is great! Would've made past travels way easier, looking forward to trying this out for future travels.

@guillermovela29 Totally! We love making travel easier. CEOs have enough on their plates. ;-) Trip planning doesn't have to be one of them.

Just signed up. Excited to see my Paris trip planned! And @15/day, it is truly a steal! Fingers crossed that they expand to Bordeaux, Aix-en-Provence and Avignon in the next couple of months. Just in time for my trip in March! :)
