Flight search,
finally done right

Booking flights gets a bad rap, but it shouldn’t. It’s the start of an adventure, the prologue to new experiences, a prelude to possibility. That’s how it used to feel—full of excitement and dreams.

But things changed. A maze of options swallowed the fun. Too many tabs, too many hidden fees, too many hours spent hunting for the best deal. Skyscanner, Kayak, Google Flights—none of them fixed it. They just piled on more results, more confusion, more doubt.

So now, booking flights feels like a chore rather than a thrill. Something to endure, not enjoy. Something you trudge through, rather than celebrate. And yet, air travel remains a marvel. You can cross continents in hours. Circle the globe in a single day. Meet friends on the other side of the world. That spark never left—it’s just buried under a mess of outdated booking tools, fleeting “deals,” and endless scrolling.

At Basis, we decided it was time for a redo. A rethink. A modern, human way to book flights. We built the world’s greatest flight search engine that actually looks out for you. It understands your frequent flyer preferences, knows whether 90 minutes is enough for a Heathrow connection, and helps you choose the best layover—Milan or Frankfurt? It answers those questions so you can focus on the excitement of your trip. No more second-guessing. No more sifting through ten different websites. No more messing around with something that should feel inspiring.

Basis is our love letter to travel—an invitation to bring wonder back to booking flights, the way it should be.
