Flymingo

Our main goal was to develop an intuitive and effective app that simplifies the booking process for flights to and within the Bahamas, meeting the needs of both passengers and pilots. Additionally, we aimed to create a user-friendly interface for companies, allowing them to efficiently track clients and manage flight operations.

Users can link their phone number or email and authenticate via a code. During registration, users provide personal details such as name, surname, date of birth, and nationality, which are essential for booking flights. Users can customize their accounts by choosing preferred islands, enabling notifications for scheduled flights, and receiving news updates.

• Scheduled Flights: Users can choose from a list of pre-scheduled flights that provide detailed information, such as the time, date, flight number, available seats, aircraft type, route, cost per person, and remaining booking time. We have also integrated Google Maps to allow users to visualize the flight path, with map markers and a line connecting the departure and destination points. Additionally, photos of the aircraft are available to help customers assess its quality and safety.

• Custom Flight Requests: Users have the option to create a personalized flight request. Pilots can then respond with their bids, and users can choose the most suitable one. The flight request process includes selecting a departure location (airport or water takeoff), destination, date, time, type of aircraft, and specifying the number of passengers and amount of luggage. We've also incorporated a custom-designed camera feature within the app, allowing users to directly photograph their luggage.

Flymingo supports multiple payment methods, such as credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, all integrated with Stripe for secure transactions. The app also offers a split payment option, allowing users to either pay for the entire flight or split the cost with others. Users can divide the expenses equally or assign specific amounts, and then send payment links via SMS to designated mobile numbers.

The Smart Check-In feature allows passengers to update luggage details and confirm personal information, making the boarding process more efficient and streamlined.

Flymingo has successfully attracted passengers looking for flights from the US to the Bahamas or between Bahamian islands. For pilots, Flymingo provides a new revenue stream and an easier way to find clients. The platform plans to expand its coverage to include more countries in the future.
