The company is based in San Francisco (primarily business and product) and Kiev (development). They have the strongest python development team in Kiev and Ukrainian office is located right next to Teatral'naya metro station . 

They revolutionize customer segmentation for airlines and hotels to sell the cheapest tickets and rooms on Earth. They have invented a novel distribution method that helps move unsold airline seats at 20% off the total inventory worth tens of billions of dollars to discretionary leisure travelers. Their customers are expected to pick two destinations instead of one while being able to select specific itineraries to both destinations at huge exclusive discounts negotiated directly with airlines. They select one of these two itineraries and ticket it, revealing it to the customer after processing the payment. Since destination flexibility is necessary for booking, the sales exclude business travellers, those visiting friends and relatives (VFR) and nonflexible leisure customers. The company is currently developing a hotel inventory segmentation product.
