Fare & schedule scraping
OTAs and resellers scrape flight-search APIs at massive scale to undercut pricing or rebuild your fare data on unauthorized sites.
For airlines & transportation
Stop bots from scraping your fares and hoarding your seats
OTAs, resellers, and fraud rings hit airline booking engines and flight-search APIs harder than almost any other industry. Kasada stopped 90% of the bad-bot traffic getting through a major airline's incumbent provider, without a single CAPTCHA.
Trusted across travel & transportation
Every part of the booking journey is under attack
Flight search, seat selection, and checkout are built for speed and openness, exactly what automated attackers exploit.
Seat & inventory hoarding
Bots hold seats through checkout without purchasing, then abandon — suppressing real availability and inflating apparent demand.
Loyalty account takeover
Credential stuffing hijacks frequent-flyer accounts to drain miles, certificates, and stored payment methods.
90% of allowed traffic was bots
In a 2025 proof-of-concept on a major international airline's flight-search API, Kasada found 90% of the traffic its incumbent provider was allowing through was bad bots, 98% of it low-sophistication traffic that never even executed a JavaScript challenge.
Why CAPTCHA-based defenses miss this
Most legacy bot defenses only escalate to a visible challenge once a visitor already looks suspicious, by then, sophisticated scraping and takeover bots have already learned to solve it or route around it.
Kasada verifies every request invisibly, in real time, before it reaches your booking engine or flight-search API. No CAPTCHA for a real traveler to get stuck on; no static pattern for a bot to reverse-engineer.
The proof
90%
of the traffic an airline's incumbent bot provider was allowing through turned out to be bad bots.
Based on a 2025 proof-of-concept at a major international airline: Kasada was deployed behind the incumbent bot-management provider on the flight-search API and independently measured what that provider was letting through. The incumbent had a false-negative rate above 75%, meaning three out of four bad-bot requests were being waved through as clean traffic.
