IRROPS Ticket Transfer Monitor

A consumer-facing and OTA-facing verification service that continuously validates rebooked itineraries after disruptions by checking for completion of ticketing (e-ticket issuance), PNR sync, and check-in readiness across involved carriers. It detects common failure modes (missing e-ticket number, carrier mismatch, invalid coupon status) and escalates with actionable steps and proof packets (timestamps, records) before the traveler arrives at the airport. The product can be delivered as a mobile app for travelers plus an API for travel agencies/OTAs to reduce chargebacks and emergency support load.

IRROPS Ticket Transfer Monitor

A consumer-facing and OTA-facing verification service that continuously validates rebooked itineraries after disruptions by checking for completion of ticketing (e-ticket issuance), PNR sync, and check-in readiness across involved carriers. It detects common failure modes (missing e-ticket number, carrier mismatch, invalid coupon status) and escalates with actionable steps and proof packets (timestamps, records) before the traveler arrives at the airport. The product can be delivered as a mobile app for travelers plus an API for travel agencies/OTAs to reduce chargebacks and emergency support load.

Target customer

Primary: frequent travelers who book via OTAs/credit card portals and are exposed to disruption rebooking. Secondary: OTAs, corporate travel agencies, and credit card travel portals that pay for fewer escalations/chargebacks and better NPS during disruptions.

Problem-solution fit

Customers need early warning and proof when a carrier-to-carrier transfer is incomplete; discovering it at the airport creates missed trips and forced repurchases. By monitoring ticketing completion signals and surfacing a clear ‘safe to go to airport’ status (or ‘not ticketed—take these steps now’), the product prevents last-minute failures and reduces expensive support events for OTAs.
