2020: Telegram bot presentation

On July 23, 2020 it became known that the Tinkoff Puteshestviya service started the chat-bot in Telegram which will look for for users air tickets at the most affordable prices.

To offer the bottom prices on tickets for users, the bot analyzes bases of most world airlines, low-cost airlines and charter flights, looks for tickets on issue of the agencies OneTwoTrip, Tickets.ru , Ozon Travel, Kupibilet, Kiwi and others. The margin at the same time is absent: the price for the ticket offered by a bot will not differ from the websites of the agencies and airlines. The bot also monitors the change in price for tickets and quickly reports about it.

In the starting version it is possible to use a bot of Tinkoff of Travel to Telegram channel or on the Tinkoff Travel Bot page.

Search in a bot of Tinkoff of Travel can be configured by several parameters at once:

• country, city;
• month of a departure or exact date, trip duration;
• days of the week when it is necessary to make flight;
• flight with baggage or without;
• direct run or with changes, it is possible to specify the number of changes;
• desirable price, upper limit of the price or size of a discount for the air ticket.

The traveler can select the direction (both across Russia, and on the world), to expose the price and other parameters and to create one or several subscriptions - on the different directions, dates, the number of changes etc. As soon as the bot finds suitable tickets, it will send the message to the user to Telegram.

It is also possible to specify time when the user wants to receive notifications. For example, from 7 a.m. till 11 p.m. The bot will show everything that will help to make the decision on a trip - the price of the ticket, date of flights, information about baggage and changes in the message.

If the price of the ticket changes while the client makes the decision — the bot will report about it.

On the page with the found ticket the bot shows also other options. The user will see all runs in this direction and for these dates and if it is necessary, will be able to select other ticket.

In the next version of a bot

Now the bot sends notifications only to Telegram. In plans to expand number of messengers and channels therefore for users authorization by the phone number is provided. During creation of a subscription it is necessary to enter the number, and then it is possible to receive notifications and to manage subscriptions where it is convenient — in the Tinkoff application or other messengers.

Also the bot of Tinkoff of Travel will be able automatically to buy air tickets for clients if he will find out that the found options correspond to the user's request.

Bot looks for profitable tickets for any users, but clients of Tinkoff in addition receive up to 5% bonuses, in miles or a cashback from the cost of tickets.
