Its hyper focused on customer experience and has a product culture of fast iteration to deliver great outcomes for customers.

Its continuing to innovate to stay ahead, using machine learning to predict price movements and integrating with Siri and Google Assistant so people can buy tickets just by speaking to their phone.
