Congrats, the b2b partnerships sounds like a solid business model. Plus it'd be easier to charge a frequently travelling exec for the service then the average consumer.

Hopefully the service can expand outside of the US. I see the limited/varied data of each country as the biggest technical hurdle they'll have to overcome.

I'm a frequent business traveler, but I don't see being able to expense flight change based on predictive analysis.

Is there anyone within the travel industry that can speak to the market demand for this? Does this cost the airlines $x/year, or booking services?
