Booking an air ticket for a travel originating from other geographies, was not a cost effective transaction till mid 90's. With the advent of e-Ticketing, the travel distribution rules witnessed a change with alterations in distribution model by Global Distribution Systems. With limited access to global airfares, the travel agents encountered number of booking impediments. For instance, Indian travel companies could provide economical airfares for travel originating from India. However, tickets for travels originating from foreign destinations were expensive & not easily accessible. For online credit card transactions, travelers were exposed to currency exchange losses & interbank rates, which appreciated the ticket price with increased uncertainty about the final cost of the ticket. Moreover, there were limited payment options with no option to hold a ticket & pay later. The scenario paved the way for anywhere -to - anywhere global airfare consolidation services company - Mystifly.
