Who we are
Boardably is a small team of frequent travelers who got tired of buying $800 tickets just to show a border officer or an embassy that we intended to leave.
What we do
We make real airline reservations — the same kind a travel agency makes before a ticket is paid for — and deliver them as a clean PDF within about two minutes. Each reservation has a real booking reference you can check on the airline's own website, and it's released automatically after 48 hours.
That's it. We don't sell tickets, seats or insurance, and we don't pretend a reservation is something it isn't.
Why we built it
Embassies ask for a booking but tell you not to buy a ticket. Airlines and border officers ask for proof of onward travel even when your plans are open. The existing options were slow, vague about what you actually got, and often manual.
We wanted something honest and fast: you see exactly which flight you're reserving, you pay a flat $16 per passenger, and the reservation is in your inbox before you've finished your coffee.
How we work
Reservations are issued automatically through a licensed travel-industry platform, with card payments handled by Stripe. We never see your card number. Passenger details are used only to make the reservation and are minimised and pseudonymised after the order ends.
We follow the airlines' rules on booking practices and don't tolerate speculative or duplicate bookings. In return, you get a reservation that holds up when it's checked.
