✦ Our story

We built the travel site
we always wished existed

Departure99 was born from one simple frustration — why does booking a flight still feel like navigating a maze designed against you?

The problem we saw

Every time you search for a flight or hotel, you're navigating a system that was built to confuse you — not help you. Prices change between tabs and behind every booking, a chain of middlemen each taking a cut before the price reaches your screen.

We started Departure99 because travellers deserve better. Better prices. Better transparency. A booking experience that respects your time and your intelligence. No games. No hidden fees. No surprise charges when you're about to pay.

"The price you see is the price you pay. The flight you book is with the airline directly. No layer between you and your seat."
— The Departure99 Promise
What makes us different

Direct connections.
Real prices. No middlemen.

Most travel sites are aggregators — they collect prices from other sites and mark them up. You're paying for their infrastructure, their marketing, their commissions. When you book through Departure99, your reservation goes directly to the airline or hotel through Duffel's NDC connections. That's a direct line to the airline's own inventory — the same prices, the same availability, the same service you'd get booking on the airline's own website.
