SAN FRANCISCO, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mindtrip, an AI-powered platform that empowers people to travel differently, today announced the launch of Mindtrip Flights, a new, conversation-led experience that makes it easier to find, compare, and book flights while making smarter decisions along the way.

Powered by Sabre's AI-native travel platform, Sabre Mosaic™, offering agentic-ready Air APIs and integrated with PayPal's agentic commerce services, Mindtrip Flights brings real-time flight options and booking into one seamless experience. Unlike traditional flight search tools that rely on filters and long lists of results, Mindtrip Flights removes the tedious tasks of having to manually piece together a variety of variables, travelers can simply "talk" to Mindtrip, whether planning a quick trip or something more complex, like coordinating a group flying from different cities.

Built to handle the complexity of modern travel planning, travelers can ask questions like "what are the cheapest flights for a ten-day trip to Paris in June" or compare options based on timing, budget, and convenience. By analyzing countless flight combinations behind the scenes, factoring in timing flexibility, routing nuances, and evolving traveler preferences, the experience delivers a concise set of structured, high-quality recommendations.

"Flight planning is one of the most complex and time-consuming parts of travel," said Andy Moss, CEO of Mindtrip. "Mindtrip Flights shows how agentic AI can simplify that complexity, moving travelers from overwhelming choice to clear, confident decisions. Travel is shifting from search to AI-assisted decision-making, and the platforms that win will be the ones that understand the traveler and deliver the best outcome at the right moment."

Mindtrip Flights also adapts to real-world scenarios, including different departure cities, alternate airports, and changing plans. It evaluates key tradeoffs, like price versus convenience or shorter travel time, to highlight the options that matter most, reducing the need for manual comparison. Over time, the platform learns from traveler preferences to deliver increasingly personalized recommendations.

"This is the moment the industry and its travelers have been waiting for with agentic AI," said Garry Wiseman, President of Product & Engineering at Sabre. "For the first time, we've truly bridged the gap between inspiration and purchase, allowing travelers to move from intent to transaction entirely within the same chat, rather than simply being redirected to book on a website. By anchoring real-time airline content and trusted payments into Mindtrip's consumer interface, we've moved agentic AI out of the lab and onto the ledger. It's no longer theoretical – it's a live production blueprint that paves the way for a new era of scalable, autonomous travel commerce." Wiseman added, "This isn't just a one-off project. The way we see it, it's an open invitation to the industry. If you're building the next great AI experience, we can make that a reality. We've created a blueprint for how the travel industry can come together to scale in the agentic era."

To get started, travelers visit mindtrip.ai/flights and begin planning through a simple conversation. When it's time to book, they can check out directly within the experience using PayPal, including their flexible options like Buy Now, Pay Later (subject to approval, terms apply) with both PayPal's Pay in 4 and Pay Monthly options.

"Travel is one of the most meaningful ways people spend their money, and how they pay for it matters," said Anand Sivadasan, VP and Head of BNPL, PayPal. "By integrating PayPal Buy Now, Pay Later into Mindtrip's experience, we're giving consumers greater flexibility at checkout while helping travel partners drive higher engagement and conversion This is what it looks like when trusted payments meet agentic travel experiences." 

To celebrate the launch and make upcoming travel plans more affordable, travelers who redeem the offer in the PayPal app and spend $250 or more using PayPal's Buy Now Pay Later options on Mindtrip can earn 5,000 points (approximate $50 value, subject to terms) after completing an eligible booking.
