Thank you @mwseibel for the hunt! 👋 Hi everyone! I'm Steve, founder and CEO of Duffel. We're so excited to introduce Duffel Links today - a low-code solution for selling flights. Since day 1, we've made it our mission to break down barriers in the travel industry and make it easy for anyone to start selling travel. Now with Links, you can still use Duffel even if you don't have technical skills. It truly has never been easier to get started selling travel. 🛬The Problem: We've removed many blockers to selling flights, but until today, offering even a simple flight shopping experience could be a complicated task. Even with Duffel's developer-friendly APIs and components, you would still face challenges such as handling search inputs for passengers of all ages, getting the details of one-way, return and multi-city trips and more. Whatsmore if you need to gain the technical skills available to integrate with an API, it will be costly to acquire them and take time. 🛫 The Solution: Welcome Duffel Links! Links take care of all of this for you so you can start offering flights to your customers immediately; with a single API call, you can generate a link where your customer can access our best-in-class flight shopping experience, customised to match your brand. Leverage thousands of hours of product design and travel expertise every time you generate a link. 💫Highlights: -Search intuitively - Your customers will be able to input search parameters to ensure they see the most relevant flights and filter itineraries, so they can find the perfectly timed flight. -Optimised for conversion - When booking, they can pick the fare with the right level of flexibility and amenities, complete our simple checkout, and instantly access all the information needed to fly. -Access to 300+ airlines - including low-cost carriers, NDC and GDS. -Add markups - Quickly and dynamically add markups to fares when creating a link and easily charge your customers. Up-sell to your customers by offering premium seats and paid bags. -Make it your own - Customise the entire search and book experience to match your brand. Include your logo, custom URL and brand colours throughout. -Compatible with all screen sizes - Links is fully responsive for all devices - including mobiles, tablets and desktops. 🚀 Duffel is on a mission to make travel effortless. Try Links now - we're looking forward to your feedback and comments. This is just the beginning; we've got a lot more in store for this year. Thanks! Steve

@mwseibel @stevedomin Congratulations on the launch. This is the most intuitive and clear introduction I've seen at PH this week. I've always believed that the ticket buying experience should be simplified and the service should be more easily integrated, well done guys!
Steve Domin
@mwseibel @oe_zheng Thank you! We do too :)

Hey people! Congratulations on the recent launch of Duffel Links on the Product Hunt! 🎉 Looks interesting. I just watched the video and have a question. What is the difference between the Duffel Links and existing solutions such as Skyscanner, Aviasales, Onetwotrip, and others? What is your killer feature?
Steve Domin
@denis_galka Thanks for the comment and the question! A few ways we're different: - We are not an affiliate program where you send your customers off to another site to purchase flights. Your customers remain yours throughout the entire user journey - Using Duffel means you benefit from access to great airline content - NDC, LCC and GDS. Check out the airlines we support here - duffel.com/airlines - We're also a full-stack product, so you can use any of our features to manage bookings either through the Dashboard or our API. Hope that helps!

The ability to offer customers a best-in-class shopping experience through a single API request is a huge advantage.
Ronan McGovern
Congrats on the launch. It's still blowing my mind that there are so many businesses that want to sell flights. I guess travel agents would find this tool useful, but I'm wondering who else. Also makes me wonder what other industries this approach could be applied to.
Steve Domin
@ronankmcgovern Hi Ronan - thanks! We have a variety of types of customers who use Duffel today. Some examples are spend management companies, ride-sharing apps, events or experiences platforms, For Links specifically Karat Financial - a bank for the creator economy - have used Links to offer travel to their customers.

Any plan to add WizzAir and Ryanair in the future? They account for 90% of our flights and we'd love switching to Duffel.
Steve Domin

Is this relevant for Product Hunt users?...

@anuj_patel14 I think so..lots of comments suggest so and there are many business people in the PH community who could incorporate flights with their content or offering.
