For travel brands

Reach travellers while they are still deciding

Display, native, video and connected TV for airlines, hotels, OTAs and tour operators, planned by route, region and season.

What the platform gives travel brands

Built for a business where demand moves by season, route and weather.

Route and region level buying

Target by origin and destination markets, down to state, city and metro, so a campaign matches the routes and properties you actually want to fill.

Seasonality you control

Hour and day scheduling, start and end dates and budget pacing per line item, so spend follows booking windows instead of running flat all year.

Controls per line item

Bid caps, frequency, supply allow and block lists, all editable while a campaign runs.

Reporting by market

Impressions, clicks, site visits and cost per result, broken out by market, device and placement.

Inventory and formats you can buy

Open exchange supply on web, in-app and connected TV, with placement rules you set.

How buying works

Pick the model that fits the campaign. Your bid is the price, nothing is added afterwards, and you can change any of it while the campaign runs.

Buy on CPM

Pay per thousand impressions. Best for destination, brand and connected TV campaigns where delivery is the point.

Or buy on CPC

Pay per click. Best for fare and package campaigns, where you want to pay for the visit to your booking page.

One rate, all in

Your bid is what you pay. No separate platform fee and no percentage taken on top at the end of the month.

Or optimise to a target CPA

Set a target cost per booking on the line item, with a bid cap, and the bidding works toward it while you watch delivery. Change it any time.

Targeting and controls

Everything is set per line item, and you can change it while the campaign runs.

Travel questions

What teams ask before their first campaign.

Can I run a different campaign per route or property?

Yes. Each line item has its own geography, budget, creatives and bid caps, so a route, a city or a single property can run on its own and be reported on its own.

Do I need a feed?

Only for dynamic ads that show live fares or rates. Brand, destination and seasonal campaigns run on standard creatives without a feed.

Can I reach people who searched but did not book?

Yes, with the SAPADS pixel. Build audiences from search and checkout events and show them the routes and dates they looked at.

How do you handle seasonality?

Start and end dates, dayparting and pacing are set per line item, so budgets follow booking windows and can be raised or paused without rebuilding a campaign.
