How it works for time-critical trips
- Tell Otto the deadline, not the flight. "I need to be in London for a 9 AM Thursday meeting." Otto works backward from the meeting.
- Arrival-first ranking. When you're time-sensitive, Otto ranks by making the meeting: nonstops, earlier departures, alternate airports, premium cabins with better change flexibility.
- The trip is watched from the moment it's booked. If the flight breaks, Otto assembles alternatives ranked by whether they still get you there, often before the airline's own app alerts you.
- Humans on standby. Professional agents behind every booking, with your full trip context prepared.
