We plan trips the way a good friend with taste would.
Mera pairs a planning engine with senior human trip designers. The engine does the drafting and the arithmetic. A person makes the calls that matter and books the trip.
Why we started
Travel planning collapsed into two bad options: a booking engine that shows you whatever pays for placement, or a spreadsheet you build yourself over four weekends. Neither one knows what you actually want.
We built the middle: describe the trip in your own words, get a real draft in under a minute, then have a senior designer refine it, negotiate the rates and handle every booking.
How we make money
A flat design fee per trip, plus the standard commission hotels and operators pay any agency. We never take placement money to move a property up your list, and every hotel recommendation ships with the reason it was chosen.
