DISCOVER

How can we enhance the flight booking experience for Egyptian travelers?

Secondary Research

Conducted thorough market research on Egyptian and regional travel industries. Analyzed user frustrations with booking processes and identified local traveler needs. Insights showed preference for simple pricing, flexible dates, and streamlined booking. Demand for transparent fees and reliable options was high.

User Interview

Conducted interviews with five travelers who regularly book flights online. Participants highlighted frustrations with hidden fees, limited flexible dates, and difficulties finding essential flight details. These insights were pivotal in identifying user-centered priorities for Misr Fly’s design.

Competitor Analysis

Evaluated both local and global competitors to identify gaps and strengths. EgyptAir and FlyEgypt were primary local competitors, both lacking intuitive digital experiences. Global competitors, like Qatar Airways, excelled in customer service but often at premium prices, creating an opportunity for Misr Fly to offer accessible, streamlined booking with localized features.
