With independent travel becoming increasingly popular, booking flights and planning itineraries online is no longer a novelty. However, aside from not having to wait on standby when booking online, and having a clear overview of fares from various airlines, iFly also provides the option to view fares for 7 days before and after the departure date, and allows separate purchase of outbound and return flight segments. The process—available seats can be booked instantly, and you can depart right after booking—has made “iFly” stand out among Taiwan’s travel flight websites with its flexibility and adaptability. It is not only highly praised by backpackers but has also won favor among many business travelers.

The iFly ticket booking platform differs from other flight booking sites in its model. With the feature of instant seat availability and no need for standby, it connects directly with airlines to search up to 200 available and lowest-priced flight options across all airlines at once. Travelers don’t need to compare prices on each airline’s site—they can directly access fare information from all airlines on a single platform. Any price displayed means there are available seats, saving time spent repeatedly searching for fares and seat statuses. In addition, besides the originally intended departure date, travelers can view fare combinations for the 7 days before and after, totaling 49 days, all on the same screen, eliminating the hassle of repeated searches for fares and seat status. They can also freely choose outbound and return flight times. Passengers can select flights segment by segment. This high level of convenience and autonomy, combined with diverse itinerary options, allows backpackers and business travelers to enjoy a flexible and unrestricted flying experience.
Additionally, iFly’s membership system and online payment functions have officially launched. First, iFly not only provides a service for managing personal travel records, but also exclusively introduces a “Friends” function. By entering the information of all potential travel companions in advance, users can directly include them when making bookings, which is especially beneficial for business travelers managing unified window bookings. Moreover, the points cashback mechanism allows travelers to earn cash discounts on fares by accumulating points. Booking long-haul flights to Europe, the U.S., or Canada earns 2 points, while other regional flights earn 1 point. Every 5 points can be redeemed for NT$200, 8 points for NT$450, and 10 points for NT$800. Huang Jieshi, founder of iFly, said: “To allow travelers to enjoy a free and pleasant flying experience, there is no cap on the cashback redemption. Frequent business travelers may even have the chance to get free flights through the rebate system. This rebate system also runs parallel with airline mileage accumulation—meaning a single purchase earns double benefits.”
At the same time, iFly also plans to launch an “APP mobile device” booking system, with an “automatic ticketing system” and “international reverse itinerary tickets” to be introduced successively. International reverse itinerary tickets refer to flight options from overseas to Taiwan, providing more diverse services and itinerary planning while enhancing corporate business features.
