It reads your booking engine and CRM before replying, and hands anything outside its rules to your team.

- Bookings and changes handled from live reservation data

What it is
AI Travel WhatsApp Agent answers travel enquiries, sends e-tickets, boarding passes and visa reminders, and books or changes reservations inside your WhatsApp Business number. It reads your booking engine and CRM, and hands off anything outside its rules. Message templates are submitted for Meta approval as part of the build.
Why businesses buy it
Travelers who message on WhatsApp expect a reply in minutes, not after the office opens. When the answer is slow, they message a competitor too. Handling every chat by hand also means staff copy tickets and booking details between systems all day. This agent answers from the live booking, sends documents in the chat and makes approved changes itself, so travelers get what they need and your team keeps the complex cases. The written scope sets one number, two systems, up to five flows and five templates before you order.
Problems this solves
Travelers would rather message you on WhatsApp than fill in forms
The agent answers travel enquiries on your WhatsApp Business number and books or changes reservations there. It reads your booking engine and CRM, so answers reflect the traveler's actual trip.
Staff send e-tickets and boarding passes one message at a time
E-tickets, boarding passes and visa reminders go out through the same WhatsApp thread. Up to five message templates are submitted for Meta approval during the build, ready for outbound messages.
Travelers forget visa and document deadlines until it is too late
Visa reminders go out through your WhatsApp templates at the points you choose, in an app travelers already use. Any reply is handled within the agent's rules or passed to a person.
Complex requests get stuck in an automated loop
Anything outside the agent's rules is handed off to a person. Forty end-to-end test conversations check the handoff points across up to five conversation flows before go-live.
A good fit if
Travelers already message your WhatsApp Business number asking about a booking, a fare, or where their e-ticket is.
You want documents such as e-tickets, boarding passes or visa reminders sent inside the same chat, not a separate email.
You have a WhatsApp Business Platform account, or are open to setting one up, and a verified Meta Business account.
You are comfortable with a booking or change closing inside WhatsApp, using a payment or order link, rather than only by phone.
Not the right fit if
You want the same travel logic handled by phone instead of WhatsApp. See AI Travel Voice Agent, built for fare rules and PNR handling by phone.
Most messages are pre-booking inquiries needing qualification, not existing bookings needing service. See AI Travel Lead Agent.
You want proactive upgrade and add-on offers sent through the same chat, not reactive service. See AI Travel Upsell Agent.
You want a general WhatsApp sales flow not tied to travel bookings or fare rules, such as a retail catalog. See WhatsApp AI Sales Agent, our general WhatsApp sales build.
How it works
- A traveler messages your WhatsApp Business number first, opening a session so the agent can reply freely for 24 hours under Meta's messaging rules.
- It looks up the traveler's PNR or booking reference in your reservation system before answering, so replies are grounded in the actual itinerary, not a guess.
- It answers routine questions, such as baggage allowance, check-in times or fare rules, from the FAQs and policies you approved, and sends documents like e-tickets or boarding passes on request.
- For a new booking or a change, it checks live availability, confirms the price and details back to the traveler, then writes the booking to your reservation system and CRM.
- Pre-trip reminders, such as passport or visa validity checks and departure-time confirmations, are sent automatically on the schedule you set.
- Template messages pre-approved by Meta restart a conversation once the 24-hour session window closes, and anything outside your rules hands off to the inbox or person you choose.

Expected benefits and how to measure them
- Travelers can manage bookings in a channel they already use.
- Helps cut the manual work of sending tickets and reminders.
- Makes document deadlines harder to miss.
- Conversations resolved without handoff
- Count conversations completed by the agent each week, from WhatsApp Business or agent records.
- Documents sent by hand
- Ask staff to count e-tickets and boarding passes they send manually for two weeks before and after launch.
- Late visa or document problems
- Count trips disrupted by missing documents, from your incident notes, season on season.
Before you start: Record current WhatsApp message volume and the main reasons travelers write. Note how many tickets and reminders staff send by hand each week.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
Running costs
The build price is one-time. Running it is paid in your own accounts: WhatsApp conversation fees charged by Meta, plus roughly $30 to $150 a month for AI model usage and hosting.
AI usage during the build and testing is also billed to your accounts, so you keep ownership of every provider relationship, including Meta's. Nothing runs through us.
Ask about running costsCustom requirements
If you need something outside the Scope Card, such as a second WhatsApp number for a different market, add a note at checkout. You get a written Change Quote, and that work only starts once you accept it. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.
Request a custom versionKeep it running
Monthly maintenance covers monitoring, fixes, updates, a monthly health report and change hours for an updated fare policy or a new message template. It starts after the thirty days of included support and can be cancelled any month.
$249/mo (the minimum fee, includes 2 change hours)
Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.

|---|---|---|---|
| Price | A WhatsApp chatbot platform charges monthly per agent seat | A custom agency quotes after discovery calls | Ours is one fixed price, shown on this page before you buy |

Questions about this product
How much does AI Travel WhatsApp Agent cost?
The build is one fixed price, and the panel on this page lists it with each delivery speed. It covers everything on the Scope Card, including forty end-to-end test conversations before launch and thirty days of support afterwards. WhatsApp conversation fees from Meta, plus AI usage and hosting, are paid directly in your own accounts, including your Meta Business account.
AI Travel WhatsApp Agent vs AI Travel Voice Agent: which channel should we build first?
Both handle the same travel logic, fare rules, PNR lookups and booking changes, just on different channels: WhatsApp for text-first travelers who want documents in chat, phone for travelers who prefer to talk. Many travel businesses start with whichever channel already carries more volume, then add the other.
Can it send e-tickets and boarding passes inside the chat?
Yes. Once it looks up the traveler's PNR, it can send the e-ticket, boarding pass or itinerary document directly in the WhatsApp conversation, along with pre-trip reminders such as passport or visa validity checks on the schedule you set. Nothing is emailed separately unless you prefer that instead.
What does AI Travel WhatsApp Agent cost to run each month?
Running costs include WhatsApp conversation fees charged directly by Meta, plus roughly $30 to $150 a month for AI model usage and hosting. You pay those providers directly, in your own accounts, so you keep ownership of every relationship, including your Meta Business account. We charge nothing per conversation.
What do we need to have ready before you build it?
You need a WhatsApp Business Platform account and a verified Meta Business account in your name, the phone number to use, your FAQs and fare rules, and approved wording for up to five message templates. We also need access to your booking engine and CRM, shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email.
Will travelers know they're chatting with an AI agent?
Yes. The conversation opens with a short disclosure in your own wording, so travelers know before they engage. Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform expects clarity about automated messaging in commercial conversations. You approve the exact wording during intake, and it can be changed later through monthly maintenance if your policy changes.
Can we add new conversation flows or templates later?
Yes. Updating a fare policy, refining an FAQ, or adjusting a reminder schedule fits inside the monthly change hours in maintenance. A whole new conversation flow, such as a group-booking flow, comes through the Additional Workflow add-on, quoted before it starts.
Answer the booking question inside the chat the traveler already opened.
