Services · Mobile app development · Travel agency apps
Codeeo delivers travel agency app development in the USA for agencies, host agency networks, tour sellers and travel advisors. We build apps that search fares and rooms through your GDS and supplier APIs, assemble quotes and packages, take card payments, hold the itinerary in one place and process changes and refunds, so your advisors spend their time selling trips instead of retyping bookings between systems.
Selling travel in the United States means answering to federal airline rules, card network security standards and a patchwork of state seller of travel laws. We plan those requirements into the product from the first sprint, rather than discovering them after launch when a regulator or a chargeback forces the issue.

What the app can include
A traveler opens an agency app to get a price, accept a quote, pay a deposit and see their itinerary. An advisor opens the back office to build that quote quickly, track who still owes a balance and fix a schedule change before the client notices. These are separate jobs and we design them separately. Inventory arrives from a GDS such as Sabre, Amadeus or Travelport, from NDC airline connections, from hotel wholesalers and from tour and cruise suppliers. The app normalizes that inventory so an advisor in Florida and an advisor in Oregon see the same product, the same commission and the same rules. Pricing and refund logic follows Department of Transportation requirements for flights, and the payment layer is scoped against PCI DSS before a single card form is built. Below is the set we usually draw from. The same foundation also suits holiday booking app development in the USA for leisure sellers focused on packages and cruises. Most agencies launch with five or six and add the rest once the core booking flow is earning.
One search across your GDS, NDC airline content, hotel wholesalers and direct contracts, with duplicates merged and your negotiated rates ranked where you want them. Advisors filter by supplier, refundability and commission, while travelers see a cleaner view that hides internal codes and net pricing.
Advisors quote from every source without switching screens.
Combine air, rooms, transfers, tours and insurance into one branded quote with your markup applied per component. Quotes expire on the date the supplier holds expire, and accepting one turns it into a booking request without rekeying.
Quotes go out faster and convert without manual copying.
Federal rules require the advertised airfare to include all mandatory taxes and fees, and baggage fee information must be disclosed the way DOT rules require. We build the price display, fare rules screen and confirmation email so the total shown is the total charged.
Fare displays that match what DOT expects from a ticket agent.
Deposit schedules per supplier, automatic balance reminders, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and split payments so each member of a group pays their own share. Card data goes to a PCI DSS validated processor through hosted fields, which keeps your own systems out of most card handling.
Fewer unpaid balances chased by phone.
When an airline cancels or significantly changes a flight, DOT's refund rule requires prompt refunds to eligible travelers who decline the alternative, and the merchant of record is responsible. The app flags affected bookings, records the traveler's choice and tracks the refund until it lands.
Every refund owed has an owner and a deadline.
Flights, confirmations, vouchers, insurance certificates and destination notes in one itinerary that updates when a supplier changes something. Travelers can download documents for use without signal, which matters on cruise ships and at remote lodges.
Clients stop asking for the same PDF twice.
Role based access for agency owners, advisors and independent contractors under a host agency, with commission tracking per booking, client ownership rules and reports by advisor and by state. Supervisors can see which advisors hold which clients without exposing everyone's book.
Host networks manage hundreds of advisors from one view.
California and Nevada, among others, expect a registered seller of travel to show its registration details in advertising and sales materials. The admin lets you set disclosure text per state so the right wording appears on quotes, terms and receipts for the traveler's location.
Disclosures follow the customer's state, not a single template.
Conversations tied to each booking, with push notifications for payment due dates, check in windows and supplier changes. Messages stay on the booking record, so any advisor picking up the file can see the history.
No booking history lost in a personal phone.
Each booking carries its gross price, net cost, markup and expected commission. When supplier statements arrive, the back office matches them against bookings and flags unpaid commissions, short payments and cancelled items still invoiced. Finance teams export clean records to their accounting system instead of rebuilding them in spreadsheets every month.
Commission that suppliers owe you is no longer left unclaimed.
Who this is for
The right first version depends on how you sell: retail agencies with storefront traffic, host networks with remote contractors, specialists packaging their own departures, and tour sellers distributing through other agents. Each has different integration needs and different compliance exposure. We start with the flow that earns the most for your model and leave the rest for later releases. Many buyers come to us after trying a white label booking engine that could not handle their supplier mix or their host agency structure. Others come because their current app was built as a brochure and cannot take a deposit. Travel booking app development in the USA works best when the first release replaces one painful manual process completely.
Your advisors work from home in many states and sell under your accreditation and supplier agreements. They need a shared booking tool, commission statements they trust and client records that remain theirs when they move. We build a contractor console with clear data ownership, per advisor branding on traveler facing quotes and reporting that shows the network's production by supplier and by state.
Advisor onboarding speed often decides whether a host network grows.
Branches in several cities share inventory and preferred suppliers but often keep separate client lists and pricing habits. The app gives every branch one booking engine, one payment flow and one refund process, while letting managers set markups per location. Clients can start with one branch and continue with another without repeating themselves. Branch reporting shows which locations convert quotes, which suppliers they favor and where refunds are piling up, so regional managers can act on facts rather than anecdotes.
Escorted tours, river cruises, faith based travel or sports packages need allocation control: a fixed number of seats and rooms, deposit deadlines and final payment dates. We build departure inventory, waitlists, rooming lists and passenger forms that collect passport details through secure fields rather than email attachments. When a departure falls short of minimum numbers, the app helps you contact every booked traveler with the same options and record each answer.
When retail agents sell your product, they need net rates, availability and instant confirmations. We add an agent portal and an API so partner agencies can book directly, with commission or net pricing per partner, and your own direct app sells the same inventory to consumers at retail. Partner activity is visible per agency, so your sales team knows who to support.
Agent channels and consumer channels share one inventory count.
How we work together
Most agencies start with a fixed scope first release covering search, quote, payment and itinerary. After launch, a monthly support arrangement keeps supplier connections current when GDS and airline APIs change, which they do often. As travel app developers for USA agencies, we expect that maintenance and plan it into the contract from the start rather than treating it as an extra. Larger host networks and consolidators sometimes take a dedicated team for a longer program. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US with a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and we are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We pick native or cross platform mobile frameworks, a web back office and cloud hosting that suit your supplier connections, expected booking volume and the team who will maintain the system after handover. Supplier connectors are isolated in their own services, so a GDS upgrade or an airline API change does not take down checkout.

02Data and cloud
03Marketing and tracking
It depends mostly on supplier connections and certification.
A booking app that sells packages from your own contracts moves faster than one that needs GDS and airline certification before it can issue tickets. Some suppliers grant sandbox access quickly; others require a review of your accreditation and test bookings. We confirm each supplier's process in discovery and write the release plan around the slowest dependency, so the dates we agree are ones we can keep. Where a supplier offers live availability, we confirm it at checkout rather than trusting a cached result.
