Fareportal

What Fareportal does

Fareportal is a New York-based hybrid travel technology company founded in 2003 by Sam S. Jain and bootstrapped without external capital. It operates a portfolio of consumer online travel agency brands — CheapOair, OneTravel, CheapOair.ca, CheapOair en Español, and the ClubMiles loyalty program — alongside B2B entities including Fareportal Enterprise Solutions (white-label travel platform), Travelong, Royal Scenic, Duke's Court Travel, ConTravel, and Farebuzz. The business serves 40M+ lifetime travelers across approximately 195 countries with access to 500+ airlines and 1M+ hotel properties, combining digital self-service with 24/7 human-agent support through company-owned contact centers in the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, and India.

The company builds its core technology as an AI-driven travel platform spanning real-time search, dynamic pricing, personalization, transaction management, payment orchestration, loyalty management, and customer support. Distinctive technical components include Oli (a conversational AI booking assistant with agentic-bot customization), a real-time dynamic pricing engine, AI-driven personalization models, an NDC integration platform with carrier partners (Frontier, Hawaiian, British Airways, Philippine Airlines), a payment orchestration system supporting cards, wallets, BNPL, and points, and a configurable ClubMiles loyalty engine. The platform exposes APIs for white-label distribution and integrates with Sabre (launch partner for car API and Agency Managed Commission) and Amadeus (including Outpayce B2B Wallet).

Fareportal earns revenue through four primary streams: B2C OTA transaction commissions on flights, hotels, cars, and packages via CheapOair and OneTravel; B2B white-label technology licensing and managed services under Fareportal Enterprise Solutions; airline distribution and NDC content fees from carriers including Hawaiian, Frontier, British Airways, and Philippine Airlines; and payment processing / fintech economics including multi-currency support, virtual cards, and merchant services. Multi-channel marketing spans paid and organic search, social, TV, content, PR, affiliate, and the Fareportal Connect executive forum; distribution mixes consumer self-serve (web, iOS/Android apps, 24/7 phone, live chat) with enterprise direct sales for white-label deployments. The firm is debt-free, self-funded, and majority-controlled by founder Sam S. Jain (Executive Chairman), with CEO & President Amit Singh leading day-to-day operations.
