Kiwi.com, a Czech online travel agency founded in 2012 as Skypicker, rebranded in 2016 and is headquartered in Brno. Known for its “Kiwi-Code” technology, it searches over 750 carriers to offer affordable, unique travel itineraries via “virtual interlining”—combining flights, buses, and trains from non-partnered providers. It also uses travel hacks like “throwaway ticketing” and “hidden cities” for savings, though these carry risks. With General Atlantic as a major shareholder since 2019, Kiwi.com books about 70,000 seats daily, generating significant revenue (1.1 billion euros in 2018). It offers tools like price alerts and an interactive map, but has faced criticism over refund delays during COVID-19 and customer service issues. Its motto: “We hack the system, you fly for less.”
