Hi, my name is Benoit and I'm passionate about how technology can disrupt the travel industry and ultimately lead to a better end-user experience.
I have been conducting numerous interviews over the past few weeks to gain insights into the way people curate, organize and share travel content, with the final objective of identifying opportunities to innovate in this space.
I intend to share my preliminary findings across a series of discussions on Travel Massive to engage with the community.

Hey, Travel Massive community 👋
Since the initial launch of the AirTrack bot in 2017, I've aimed to create a product that our users would love. I've fought for every single feature to provide the best experience. However, the product didn't become successful overnight. There were many failures and disappointments I went through.
Nevertheless, I've been continuously improving the product over the years, and now AirTrack has over 1.6 million users worldwide, with more than 600,000 flight searches per month. That makes me happy.
I hope you like the product, and I'm always open to hearing your feedback 😊 and discussing it. Your feedback is always invaluable!
Thanks for sharing AirTrack with the Travel Massive community.
I’ve tried it out and it’s very easy!
Perhaps you could offer some more perks to paid subscribers (for example, lounge access via LoungePair, etc) or exclusive discount codes.
A few quick questions:
What amazing growth of your user base! Has it grown organically or did you need to market to acquire new users?
I think the Telegram platform is fascinating too - is it easy to develop on, and what do you have planned in the future?
