@twoheads This is so apt. I don't do airbnb because I prefer hotels, mostly for their security and more assured experience. But beyond that, I did experience the pain of planning vacation - about 4 years ago.

@twoheads I know. :)

It is only available on the App Store for US users right now. But, we're working on extending that soon, so stay with us!

I start by choosing a destination and seeing the best times to visit. I look for activities and attractions that fit my interests and budget.

It typically takes me a couple of weeks to finalize the details and ensure everything is well-organized.

@perewari great! Looking forward to it!

Two Heads · Answer

Depends on the type of vacation. If we plan a chill and relax all inclusive, we search on some bigger travel agency websites. If we plan a longer vacation with kids, we book an airbnb and separate flights.

You? And are you planning to make an app for it? Could be useful!

Azza Shahid · Answer

It takes really long so long that the plan gets canceled.

@twoheads Funny you asked if I was planning to make an app haha. I just launched my travel app that plans your vacation in seconds to anywhere in the world, tailored to your budget and preferences. Took 4 years to build. You can check it out here and let me know what you think: https://apple.co/46qlrRL

Answer

I usually plan trips 1-2 months in advance. For chill vacations I look for deals on Expedia or Kayak. For bigger family trips I shop around for flights and Airbnbs separately. There are some cool AI-based travel planning apps cropping up that can help optimize your itinerary based on your preferences and constraints. Might be worth checking out to see if they can streamline the process!

I usually plan my vacations months in advance. I’m all about staying in high-end resorts and making sure every detail is perfect. It does take a while to get everything just right, but it’s worth it.

Pere · Answer

@azza_shahid Yeah, that was my first experience as well. First time taking a trip and I wanted an app or website where I could enter my budget and preferences and it just does the work for me. I'm sure you already the answer to that - did not exist. I believe I've cracked that code. I just launched my travel app on the AppStore to solve this problem in seconds. I'll really love to know your thoughts on it: https://apple.co/46qlrRL

@laeequa_ahmad Wow, I wish I was you haha. Okay, every 2-3 weeks sounds too much to me - I'm not that outgoing? Do you mostly do domestic trips?

Pere · Answer

@mominulabidin What if I told you it could only take you seconds? Yeah trust me, I wanted the same but did not have those 2 weeks. Ironically spent 4 years building my travel app that can plan vacations in seconds tailored to your budget and preferences, just to make sure I don't spend 2 weeks to plan my vacation 😂. But I'll like you to check it out and let me know what you think: https://apple.co/46qlrRL

I guess triple-check everything, make peace with the fact that you’ll be refreshing the page like it's a slot machine, and don't forget to stock up on coffee—because sleep is so last week! Lol.
