About Basis
Basis was started by a small team of obsessive travel hackers with one goal: Make it less expensive to fly business and first class.
We spent years mastering every trick in the book (the ones that play by the rules): IP-based pricing, smart upgrade paths, hidden fare strategies, and routing logic only insiders understand. Then we built it all into one search engine—so you always see the lowest possible price, every time. But saving you money was just the start.
We believe premium flights should come with premium service. If you’re spending $5,000 on a ticket, you shouldn’t get stranded overnight—or sit on hold for an hour. That’s why every Basis booking includes our world-class concierge team: real people, ready when you need them.
Delayed? We’ll rebook you before the airline even makes an announcement. Need seat preferences, meal selections, or frequent flyer numbers added? Already handled.
Premium travel should feel seamless. One message—done. No phone trees. No hold music. No stress.
