What anywayanyday does

Anywayanyday is a Russian online travel agency operating as a multi-service aggregator platform. Founded in 2008, the company sells airline tickets, hotel bookings, railway tickets (RZD and European trains), airport transfers, business lounge access, and travel insurance to Russian consumers and corporate clients. Its core product is anywayanyday.com, an aggregation platform that indexes 800 airlines, 330,000 hotels, and approximately 500 railway routes, with a stated booking flow that completes in under three minutes. The platform supports complex multi-segment flight routing of up to four flight segments via its Hubs tool, and exposes dedicated portals for hotel booking (hotels.anywayanyday.com), rail ticketing (trains.anywayanyday.com), B2B corporate travel (gate.ru / b2b.anywayanyday.com), and commission-based affiliate partnerships (anywayanyday.agency), plus native iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and iPad applications branded AWAD.

The underlying technology is a real-time flight aggregation engine processing approximately 200 flight options per second per query, paired with auto-fill customer accounts, voice-input on mobile, and embedded Zingaya online-call support. The business model is commission-based across multiple verticals: airline ticketing commissions, hotel booking commissions, RZD railway ticket service fees, and travel insurance sales via Renaissance Insurance and AlfaStrakhovanie partnerships. Marketing is dominated by content marketing (an active travel blog covering guides, lifehacks, and country/city content) combined with SEO, email, organic social, and affiliate channels. Russian-locale operations are supplemented by a co-branded Alfa-Bank Visa card launched in April 2014 and a bonus loyalty program (awadbonus) redeemable for hotel bookings. Tiger Global Management acquired a 40% stake in July 2010; Forbes Russia ranked the firm 4th among Russian internet companies with $189M turnover for 2011. Transportation Clearing House (TKP) accreditation was received in November 2015 to authorize settlement activity in Russia.
