# Automating AirAsia Fare Checks for 30 Sundays

Nov 29, 2025

## About the company

**30 Sundays** is a holiday-planning platform designed for couples who want curated, transparently priced getaways. The product emphasizes real-time pricing, clear inclusions including baggage, meals, and seat selection, and smooth booking flows across partner airlines. To deliver a trusted experience, **30 Sundays** prioritizes price accuracy, fast response times, and minimal manual work by its operations team.

## The problem

One of **30 Sundays**' key airline partners, **AirAsia**, does not expose APIs for retrieving customized fares that include ancillaries. As a result:

- The platform could not automatically fetch final prices with configured baggage and meals.
- Operations relied on manual lookups in the airline UI to confirm totals, which slowed quotes and bookings.
- Inconsistent ancillary handling risked price mismatches between displayed and checkout totals.

This created an operational bottleneck and increased turnaround time from user request to confirmed itinerary.

## The solution

We built an automation agent that interacts directly with the **AirAsia** website interface to return fully inclusive fares.

## How it works

- Navigates to the relevant flight search and selects baggage and meal options based on **30 Sundays**' rules.
- Extracts the final payable price including base fare and selected ancillaries.
- Returns a structured payload to the **30 Sundays** platform for display and booking.
- Includes resilience features such as wait conditions, selector fallbacks, and error handling to manage layout changes or timeouts.

## Integration

- The agent is called via a secure endpoint with flight, passenger, and ancillary parameters.
- Results are cached with short TTLs to balance freshness and speed.
- Monitoring and logs capture run status, inputs, and retrieved totals for audit and support.

## Success metrics

- **20% reduction in turnaround time** from query to confirmed price display.
- Lower manual workload for the ops team by shifting routine checks to the agent.
- Higher pricing confidence through consistent ancillary inclusion at quote time.

**Business impact**: Faster quotes, fewer pricing discrepancies, and a smoother booking experience that builds user trust.
