Tips / Travel

Next time you miss a connection or your flight gets canceled or delayed, skip the long customer service line and instead instantly book a new ticket on any airline at no additional cost with Freebird.

 

The new mobile app is ideal for travelers with time-sensitive itineraries, as it enables users to rebook a flight in less than 30 seconds with only three taps on their mobile device.

 

The protection service is based on a per-leg pricing system, costing $19 for one-way fares or $34 round-trip for complete rebooking in the event of a cancelation or delay of more than four hours. As an independent service, Freebird works on any airline, allowing you to get to your destination as soon as possible.

 

“We all travel for important reasons — especially during the holiday season,” said Ethan Bernstein, co-founder and CEO, Freebird. “Yet when a flight disruption occurs, the rebooking process can leave us feeling helpless and frustrated. Freebird enables travelers to skip the line and choose a new ticket on any airline, book it for free, and ultimately get to the people and places that matter most. Our mission at Freebird is to empower business and leisure travelers year-round, during the holiday season, through winter, and beyond.”

 

Travelers who purchase the service will not pay any of the new fare and will not be charged any additional fees by Freebird, but are still required to pay for add-ons like checked baggage.

 

While the current available price is a promotional rate, Freebird charges will change to an algorithm-based system that will price each itinerary according to its risk of disruption.
