ITINERO
Designing a better way for the average business traveler to efficiently get from curb to gate at the airport.
RATIONALE
For the average business traveler, the journey from curb to gate is filled with stress and chaos as the airport can be extremely unpredictable. Ideally, they seek a seamless journey through TSA to their gate, maximizing efficiency while still enjoying airport amenities. Itinero offers a solution tailored for frequent travelers, such as businesspeople, to plan their airport itinerary in advance.
App features include pre-ordering drinks and food for swift pickup post-TSA, renting secure hotspots or private spaces away from the airport bustle, and suggesting optimal times based on data from other Itinero users. The Itinero app has a widget feature that provides live updates without requiring direct app access to promote efficiency.
