The app comes with a "build-your-own package" feature wherein users would be able to customise and compare filtered offerings by price and preferences, to find the best match to their plan, along with booking and cancelling provisions.

"We're a small team that's brought together by a common passion for travel and improving the overall travel experience for others. Most of us have a background in building travel products at Google, and we're all deeply passionate about solving real user problems in this space," Touring Bird added.
