- Ability to hold flights and share itineraries ahead of purchasing to allow time for trip planning
- Comprehensive search and sort filters, such as price, quickest route, most sustainable/greenest route, and more

Building Apps to Support Students
“All students and faculty can use the Fare Finder app to access discounted airfare for their educational travel needs,” said Patrick Vogt, CEO. “The APIConnect platform and our Fare Finder app are key pieces of the puzzle allowing us to achieve our purpose of encouraging students of all ages to learn through experience. This is why we are actively building apps that support all students — beyond just those participating in API programs. Making educational travel more affordable will increase access for all. Whether it is travel from home to college, travel for a study or intern abroad program with any provider, travel for a college exchange program, or travel by faculty members for research or to educational conferences, Fare Finder can serve them all. With the help of Fare Finder, we hope that millions of students will be able to gain an experience they otherwise thought they could not afford.”
