01The booking experience
Flights and the rest of the trip
Give customers flights, activities, transfers, buses and eligible travel protection alongside their hotel. Link the selected products in one trip, and keep each supplier’s booking details and terms.
Your hotel offering can grow into a complete travel product.
Embed complete search, checkout and booking screens with your branding. Use microfrontends for a ready-made travel section, or SDKs for web, iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native.
Your team can choose how much of the interface to build.
Nuitée already offers hotel MCP. OnArrival covers both flights and hotels, so an AI assistant can search, check prices and complete approved bookings for either product.
Extend a hotel assistant into a flight-and-hotel booking experience.
Your team can choose how much of the interface to build. Start with ready-made screens, or build your own on the APIs. MCP adds a way for AI agents to use the same booking tools.

Getting started
Getting started, step by step.
Start small, keep what works, pick your interface and switch safely.
01Start small
Do we have to launch every travel product?
No. Start with the products you need, such as flights and hotels. Add activities, ground travel or eligible protection as your product grows. You can also use standalone services such as hotel mapping.
02Keep what works
Can we keep our suppliers and payment accounts?
Yes. OnArrival supports bringing your airline agreements, GDS access and direct hotel rates. You can also use supported existing payment accounts, including Stripe or Adyen. The connections and payment setup are agreed for your launch.
03Pick your interface
Can we use our own interface?
Yes. Use APIs to build your own screens, SDKs for selected components, or microfrontends to embed a ready-made booking experience. MCP gives AI agents another way to use the booking tools.
04Switch safely
How do we switch without losing existing bookings?
Start by agreeing which new bookings move to OnArrival. Existing bookings retain their original supplier references, payment history and servicing responsibilities until they are completed or refunded.
Bring your travel products, target countries, app platform and supplier contracts. We can walk through the booking experience, payment setup and support your business needs.
