Fliggy
Fliggy (飞猪) is an online travel platform owned by Alibaba Group, offering bookings for flights, trains, hotels, attraction tickets, and other travel products. Its lineage goes back to Taobao Travel, launched in 2010; it was renamed “Alitrip” (阿里旅行·去啊) in October 2014 and adopted the Fliggy brand on October 27, 2016.
Usage and boundaries
Fliggy serves travel within and from China; the official website and the app are the main booking entry points. Flights, hotels, and other products on the platform come from different merchants, with prices, change-and-refund rules, and terms varying per product; the specific product page and platform rules govern before booking.
Discussion in the show
In Weekly #004’s chapter “Muse: A Personal Agent for Everyone,” discussing what would happen if a Chinese platform opened an agent ecosystem, Orange asks whether Fliggy would be able to connect, “but would Meituan want to connect? Definitely,” in the Chinese transcript, illustrating that booking flights and hotels is the kind of service an agent ecosystem would cover. This is a hypothetical industry discussion, not an official position or partnership information from Fliggy.
