Hotels scored for kids, not filtered for them
Cribs, pools, family rooms — we score what matters when kids are along instead of quietly dropping options off the list before you ever see them.

Before there was an app, there was a plane.
The founder's grandparents were mission aviators — pilots who flew small planes into jungle airstrips, over and over, carrying people and supplies to places no road reached. Both of them logged those flights for years. Both of them wrote books about what they saw: cargo loaded to the pound, weather that turned in an hour, families waiting on a dirt strip for the one plane that could get them in or out that day.
You don't fly into a jungle airstrip by guessing. Every seat, every pound of fuel, every hour of daylight gets worked out before the wheels leave the ground. And when the people on board are a family, the math changes again. A flight plan built for one adult doesn't hold up for a two-year-old who needs a nap, a kid who gets airsick, or parents who need a free hand at some point in the day. You plan around who's actually flying — not around who you wish was flying.
That's the idea behind Poppa Trip and Momma Trip, our two trip-planning apps. They're characters built from that pair of pilots — not their names, not their story in detail, just the instinct they flew with. Poppa Trip plans the way you'd plan a flight with fewer variables: one traveler, a couple, friends without kids along. Momma Trip plans the way you'd plan one with the whole family on board: kids' ages accounted for, nap windows on the schedule, a backup plan for the day that goes sideways.
Different flights, same rule: know who's in the seats, and build the trip around them. Not despite the kids. Around them.
