FigFinder AI — Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What does FigFinder actually give me at the end?

Accepted Answer

A personalised travel guide built around your specific trip — not a generic template. It includes a day-by-day plan tailored to your budget and travel style, curated hotel and flight options matched to your accommodation preference, a day-zero survival kit for your destination (airport transfer options, which SIM card to buy at arrivals, which local food delivery and ride-hailing apps actually work there, ATM tips, and a first-evening recommendation), a personalised packing checklist based on your destination, season and activities, curated booking links, and a downloadable offline map with your key attractions pinned so you can navigate without mobile data. Once your guide is ready, you choose: unlock the full guide for $2.99 or connect with a travel specialist.

Question 2

How does Fig build something so personalised so fast?

Accepted Answer

FigFinder feeds your answers directly into AI that builds a unique guide around your exact trip. Your destination, travel dates, budget, travel style, group type, accommodation preference, and any special requirements all shape what comes out. That's how a solo traveller heading to Tirana in winter gets different SIM card advice, different local app recommendations, and a different packing list from a family heading to Bali in July. Every guide is different because every trip is different.

Question 3

Is it actually free?

Accepted Answer

Planning is completely free. No account needed, no hidden fees, no subscription. When you want to take your travel guide with you, unlock the full guide for $2.99. It includes your day-by-day plan, curated booking links for flights, hotels and activities, a day-zero survival kit tailored to your destination, a personalised packing checklist, and a downloadable offline map — so you can find your way around even without mobile data.

Question 4

What is the day-zero survival kit?

Accepted Answer

The part of your travel guide that covers the first hours after you land — the bit most travel content skips. It tells you the best way to get from the airport to your accommodation (with estimated cost), which local SIM card to buy at arrivals and — critically — whether your UK or EU roaming SIM will actually work in that country (it won't in several Balkan and Eastern European countries), which ATMs charge the lowest fees, which food delivery and ride-hailing apps work locally (not Uber Eats if it's not available there), and a first-evening recommendation. Prefer to sort connectivity before you fly? Every guide also includes a discount code for a data eSIM, so you can land already connected. Built for your specific destination.

Question 5

Do I have to jump between booking sites?

Accepted Answer

No tab-switching, no comparison fatigue. Your travel guide comes with curated links to trusted booking platforms for flights, hotels and activities. One tap takes you straight there to complete your booking. FigFinder does not charge any booking fees.

Question 6

I'm a solo traveller. Will this actually work for me?

Accepted Answer

Built for it. Select solo when Fig asks who's coming and your guide will surface safety-conscious accommodation, well-connected areas, solo-friendly activities and social hubs. The day-zero kit will flag any SIM card or roaming issues specific to your destination — particularly useful in less-visited countries where standard UK or EU SIMs often don't work.

Question 7

We're a family with kids of all ages. Can Fig handle that?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Tell Fig who's coming — toddlers, teens, grandparents, or all of the above — and every recommendation is tailored accordingly. Age-appropriate activities, family-friendly dining, suitable accommodation, and a packing list that reflects travelling with children.

Question 8

What if I want a completely different trip after I see my guide?

Accepted Answer

Start fresh. Begin a new chat anytime and Fig guides you through new prompts from scratch. Different destination, different budget, different travel party — a brand new personalised travel guide is ready in minutes.

Question 9

Is FigFinder a travel agency?

Accepted Answer

No. FigFinder is an AI travel planning tool, not a travel agency. At the end of your session, you have two clear options: download your complete travel guide as a PDF for $2.99 with all booking links included, or connect with a travel specialist who will review your guide and help with planning and booking. AI speed to get started, human expertise when you want it.

Question 10

Does Fig cover visa requirements, entry rules and destination safety?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your travel guide includes a Destination Essentials section with visa information tailored to your origin country, entry requirements (passport validity rules, any vaccination or health certificates needed), local currency and exchange tips, expected weather for your exact travel dates, a safety overview, local laws tourists commonly break without realising, specific tourist scams to watch out for, cultural etiquette that could cause offence if ignored, and insider knowledge that even experienced travel agents rarely share. All specific to your destination.

Question 11

How is FigFinder different from just Googling my trip or using a travel agent?

Accepted Answer

Google gives you generic results for everyone. A travel agent gives you options they earn commission on. Fig gives you a complete guide built around your specific trip — your travel style, group type, budget, accommodation preference, travel dates and any special requirements all shape every single recommendation. The day-zero survival kit explicitly warns you if your UK or EU roaming SIM won't work in your destination country (it won't in several Balkan and Eastern European countries), names the food delivery and ride-hailing apps that actually operate locally, and tells you how to get from the airport before you've had to Google anything. That kind of localised, personalised knowledge is what no agent or search engine bundles into one place.

Question 12

What is FigFinder Pro?

Accepted Answer

FigFinder Pro is a white-label AI enquiry assistant for travel agents, tour operators and destination management companies. It captures traveller preferences 24/7 and converts them into structured, ready-to-quote trip summaries delivered straight to your inbox. No technical setup required. Available on a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial.

Question 13

How does the FigFinder Referral Programme work?

Accepted Answer

If you know travel agents, tour operators or DMCs, you can earn from it. Get a unique referral link from figfinder.ai/refer — no account or approval process needed. Share it with agents you know. When an agent signs up through your link and activates a paid FigFinder Pro plan, you earn $20 USD, paid monthly. There is no cap on how many agents you can refer.

Question 14

How does the FigFinder Creator Programme work?

Accepted Answer

If you have an audience — a travel blog, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or newsletter — you can earn from every guide they buy. Get a unique creator link from figfinder.ai/creators, no account needed. Share it in your bio, videos or stories. Guides bought through your link are $2.49 instead of $2.99, and you earn a flat $0.50 commission on every sale, paid monthly. On top of that, you earn a one-time bonus of $25 at 50 guides sold, $50 at 100, and $500 at 1,000. Track your sales and earnings any time by re-entering your email on the creators page.

Question 15

When and how do I get paid as a referrer or creator?

Accepted Answer

Earnings are paid out monthly. Enter the email you signed up with on the /refer or /creators page any time to see your running total — signups or sales counted, and total earned. We only ever use your email to send your earnings; no spam.
