About ExploreAwaits

ExploreAwaits is a travel agency with the fee taken out. Traditional agencies charge travelers for planning and booking; we don't. Tell us the trip you're dreaming of and we build the itinerary — flights, hotels, transfers, tours and tickets, rental cars, and an eSIM — then you book each piece through our partner programs at the partners' normal prices. The partners pay us a commission for bringing them your booking. You dream it. We book it. Partners pay us — never you.

We're new, and we say so plainly. ExploreAwaits is launching now with its founding travelers: bookings run through our joined partner programs — flights by Aviasales, hotels by Trip.com, plus transfer, tour, car, and eSIM partners — coordinated through the Travelpayouts partner network. Self-serve flight and hotel search opens on this site at launch; until then, every trip is built by a person from your request, which is how we'll keep doing it anyway.

ExploreAwaits is also the booking half of a pair. Our sister guide, CityPulse, covers everything going on in the city you're visiting — we're the agency that gets you there; CityPulse is your best friend once you land.

What we won't do

We won't charge travelers a fee or add a markup to a partner's price. We won't publish deals, prices, or reviews we don't actually have. We won't pretend partner inventory is ours, or that a booking with a partner is a booking with us — your confirmation, payment, and the partner's terms are theirs, and we'll always tell you which partner you're booking with.
