Runtofly, a UK-based travel start-up announced the launch of its new online platform where travellers can save money when booking flights departing within 24 hours. Runtofly negotiates with airlines the best price for seats which are still empty close to departure, offering spontaneous travellers the chance to fly cheaper when flying at short notice.
Runtofly’s main target audience are leisure travellers who don’t necessarily know where to go and might even need some inspiration for their travel destination: students, backpackers, the ever-increasing crowd of those working remotely from anywhere and anyone who has a flexible lifestyle.
Unlike other online travel agencies which allow people to search for any flight from everywhere to anywhere and anytime, Runtofly doesn’t have a search functionality. Without the need to type in the destination and dates they want to fly, Runtofly users can simply choose among the best available flights to a varied selection of worldwide destinations displayed on a virtual airport departure board.
