Byway offers flight-free holidays that take travellers away from the crowds by train, bus and boat, and is on a mission to build a post-Covid world in which flight-free holidays are normal. We aim to accelerate the transition to sustainable leisure travel and draw tourists away from airport hubs suffering over-tourism to the wonderful places in between, boosting local economies.Researching and booking slow travel trips yourself is complicated and confusing. Knowing where and when to go and which tickets to buy is hard enough, and travellers now also need to consider the headache of replanning or cancelling trips with changing restrictions and timetables. We build ABTA-protected trips around customer (and pet) preferences in a few clicks.While current ground-travel route planners (think Google Maps and Rome2Rio) optimise for speed or cost, we optimise for experience. We dynamically package multi-modal ground transportation with personalised experiences and accommodation in a way that's never been done before, creating custom package holiday options built around customer preferences.For example, you can get from Glasgow in Scotland to the Hebridean Isle of Mull in 4 hours and 22 minutes, with a train, ferry and a bit of walking - and that's what current journey planners will tell you to do. We won't. If you're a lover of the outdoors and have a bit of a thing for seafood (which we know from the data you gave us at onboarding), we'll tell you to take nine hours over the journey instead. That's because we know you'll love alighting from your train at Loch Lomond for a walk and a two-hour kayak before lunch, leaving your bags with one of our partners. When you arrive at the port of Oban a little later, instead of waiting around for 20 minutes to catch the next ferry, we're going to suggest you drop your bags and settle down for dinner at one of the best seafood restaurants in town before catching an evening ferry out to Mull. On Mull we'll have booked you somewhere to stay that suits your preferences, and will connect you in real time with the appropriate buses/taxis/bikes/luggage transfer etc. to take you to your door.Byway will establish a new paradigm for holiday travel, where the journey is part of the holiday, instead of a means to an end.

Byway提供无航班假期，让游客乘坐火车、公共汽车和船只远离人群，并致力于建立一个后疫情时代的世界，让无航班假期成为常态。我们的目标是加速向可持续休闲旅游的过渡，将游客从遭受过度旅游的机场枢纽吸引到两者之间的美妙地方，促进当地经济。自己研究和预订慢速旅行是一件复杂而令人困惑的事情。知道去哪里、什么时候去、买哪张票已经够困难的了，旅行者现在还需要考虑随着限制和时刻表的变化而重新计划或取消旅行的头痛问题。我们根据客户（和宠物）的偏好，只需点击几下即可构建abta保护的旅行。当前的地面旅行路线规划者（比如谷歌Maps和Rome2Rio）优化的是速度或成本，而我们优化的是体验。我们以一种前所未有的方式，将多式联运与个性化体验和住宿动态打包，根据客户偏好创建定制的度假套餐选择。例如，你可以在4小时22分钟内从苏格兰的格拉斯哥到达赫布里底群岛的马尔岛，乘坐火车、渡轮，再走一段路——这就是目前的旅行规划师会告诉你的。我们不会。如果你喜欢户外活动，并且对海鲜有点兴趣（我们从你在登机时给我们的数据中得知），我们会建议你在旅程中花9个小时。这是因为我们知道你会喜欢在洛蒙德湖下车，在午餐前散步和划两个小时的皮艇，把你的行李交给我们的合作伙伴。当你晚一点到达奥班港时，与其等上20分钟赶下一班渡轮，我们建议你放下行李，在镇上最好的海鲜餐厅吃顿饭，然后乘晚上的渡轮去马尔。在马尔，我们会根据您的喜好为您预订住宿，并会实时为您连接合适的公共汽车/出租车/自行车/行李转移等，将您送到家门口。Byway将为假日旅行建立一种新的模式，旅途是假期的一部分，而不是达到目的的一种手段。
