Launch HN: Solve (YC S17) – We Save International Travelers Hours of Time

Re:Launch HN: Solve (YC S17) – We Save International Travele... by krmmalik on Monday June 19, 2017 @02:57PM (#14589420)

I've been dreaming of a service like this since last year. Im travelling to Malaysia in a couple of weeks from Heathrow and would love to get through security faster. I paid $8 (approx) to get through security faster at Luton airport when i was travelling to Amsterdam and i loved it. But unfortunately such a service is not available at Heathrow unless i buy business class or have an executive club membership.

$225 is rather pricey for me. Its a bit beyond my budget, but id happily pay $60ish to get through security/customs faster on my out to Malaysia from Heathrow if it was possible in anyway. If anyone from Solve is reading this please let me know if you can do something for me?

I just called up Heathrow premium upgrade seevices. They can do the same thing for $140 but when i told them i am travelling economy they told me they couldnt fastrack me at check-in or through security which -- to me -- makes it a complete waste of money.

Services like these with old school companies were/are only available to travelers with airline status or a business or first class ticket. Our mission is to make this available to everyone. We can definitely help in Heathrow even if you're flying economy. Note that pricing gets cheaper the more travelers in your party. Heathrow, for example is $225 for the first 2 travelers and $75 per passenger there after.

Thanks but still beyond my budget. On the offchance that somehow i could afford this are you saying you can guarantee expedited security AND check-in at Heathrow?
