unloved. for travel - buy and sell non-refundable travel bookings

by•

booked a hotel stay you can't cancel and refund? sell it on. unloved. for travel helps you buy and sell non-refundable travel bookings like hotel or airbnb stays. buyers get a good deal and sellers get their lost money back.

I realised my hotel booking was not refundable and I can't travel because of new covid-19 restrictions - so I thought I would add a platform for people to sell their non-refundable travel bookings and get good deals if they can travel there.

@nitish_r_ it would be cool to trade tickets with your friends! something like a transferable gift card of sorts.

@eugenehp thanks Eugene, amazing idea! could speak to airlines to try and work something out

wow! this could be the next great thing! I love the idea. How would you solve the problem that some companies cannot accept changes of the booking name? For example I have a booking for Z on my name and even if I want to change it, the company cannot process that because of a stupid rule they have. If you solve that you could become a milionare :)

@bogomep thank youu! most hotels and airbnbs are happy to change during these times.

This is a must have, especially in these weird times. But most of the bookings you make now require a name or some kind of code, how does the app deal with it?

@rubenwolff thank you Ruben! there is always a great deal of behind the scenes work going on, booking details are changed directly with the providers.

This is a nice tool

@nitish_r_ Cool idea! Who sets the resale price for the booking? Unloved or the seller?

Hey, I remember seeing this launch a few weeks ago and being amazed at the concept. Today there's a plane ticket I might have to give up on, so I wanted to use unloved to sell it there, but I don't understand if I am supposed to sell it as a regular item or if there's a particular place I haven't seen to sell traveling tickets?

@rubenwolff Hi Ruben! just post them on unloved.xyz/sell - tickets go in like any other item. the important thing to check with your issuer if name change is allowed - with hotels/airbnbs that's possible, sometimes tickets are name specific.
