Restplass

What Restplass does

Restplass.no is a Norwegian travel meta-search marketplace operated by Reisegiganten AS, self-described as Norway's largest marketplace for vacation travel. The platform aggregates charter packages, flights, hotels, car rentals, city breaks, and last-minute deals from 700+ airlines, 8 charter companies, and 30+ travel agencies into a single searchable interface, with smart filters for hotel standard, location, departure time, temperature, and amenities. Core products include Charter Package Search (Pakker), Flight Search (Fly) enhanced by a KAYAK integration, City Break Search (Storby), Hotel Search (Hotell), Car Rental (Leiebil), Last-Minute Deals (Restplasser), Destination Guides (Reisemål), and a Low-Price Calendar (Lavpriskalender), accessible via web (restplass.no) and a dedicated mobile app.

The business operates on a free, product-led growth model: consumers search and compare without charge, then are redirected to external travel operators (Ticket, Sembo, Solfaktor, TripX, Ving, TUI, Apollo, SAS Holidays, Norwegian Holidays, Vitalreiser, Neckermann Nordic, and others) who complete bookings and handle payments under the Norwegian package travel law. Restplass earns affiliate/referral commissions on completed bookings routed through the platform. Distribution is digital-first via self-serve web and mobile, supplemented by SEO-optimized destination guides, weekly email newsletters, and a TikTok brand channel. The company is part of the Reisegiganten AS Nordic regional group, which also operates sister sites across Sweden (sistaminuten.se, destination.se), Denmark (afbudsrejser.dk), Finland (äkkilähdöt.fi, rantapallo.fi, napsu.fi), and additional Norwegian properties (dinreise.no, storbyferie.no). It is privately held with no external funding rounds, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial performance.

Others

• Sistaminuten.se: Swedish sister site of Restplass under Reisegiganten AS. Comparable as a sister Nordic meta-search travel marketplace with identical operating model; not a competitor but a direct precedent for Restplass's cross-Nordic playbook.
• Ving: Largest Nordic charter tour operator (part of Vinggruppen/Thomas Cook Northern Europe successor ownership). Comparable as a Nordic charter/package provider whose offers are aggregated by Restplass, representing the type of operator Restplass redirects to and a potential disintermediation risk.
• Ticket.se: Major Nordic charter tour operator that is both a supplier integrated into Restplass and an adjacent travel brand. Comparable as a Nordic travel marketplace participant; a key Restplass supplier partner and a potential competitor for end-consumer mindshare in charter holidays.

Direct peers

• Skyscanner: Global meta-search engine for flights, hotels, and car hire owned by Trip.com Group. Comparable as a meta-search comparator operating on an affiliate referral model with no direct inventory, very similar GTM motion to Restplass.
• Travelsupermarket: UK price-comparison travel site covering holidays, flights, hotels, and car hire. Comparable as a meta-search affiliate marketplace aggregating package holiday and charter offers from operators, similar vertical mix to Restplass.
• KAYAK: Global meta-search engine for flights, hotels, and car rentals. Directly comparable to Restplass because Restplass integrates KAYAK's flight search technology and competes in the same meta-search category, redirecting users to travel operators rather than transacting directly.
• Momondo: Nordic-origin meta-search engine owned by Booking Holdings covering flights, hotels, and cars. Comparable as a price-comparison travel marketplace that aggregates third-party inventory and redirects to operators, with strong Nordic consumer overlap.
• Trivago: Hotel-focused meta-search engine that compares offers from OTAs and hotel chains. Comparable to Restplass's hotel search module — same affiliate-driven comparison model redirecting users to booking sites rather than transacting.
• Liligo: European meta-search engine for flights, hotels, and cars owned by Voyage Privé. Comparable to Restplass as a regional price-comparison marketplace with similar affiliate monetization and operator redirection model.

Broad incumbents

• Google Flights: Google's flight meta-search product embedded directly in search results. Comparable as a flight price comparator that drives referrals to airlines and OTAs, and represents the largest structural threat to independent meta-search players like Restplass.
