About MrBilit
Started in February 2016, MrBilit has been one of the biggest upcoming Online Travel Aggregators (OTA) in the MENA Region. The travel company has made it possible to buy plane, train, and bus tickets online simultaneously, offering users the most complete scheduled and charter flight tickets to desired destinations. Moreover, if any new flights are established through airlines, they are added immediately to MrBilit’s application.
Comparing ticket prices, departure times, and train types, as well as selecting the best option to travel, is all seamlessly possible through MrBilit’s app. Users can buy bus tickets online from travel companies, instead of calling or visiting the office in person. Additionally, users can apply various filters based on price, time, airline, flight class, etc., to classify and compare search results and buy the most suitable airplane ticket.
Initially, the travel company only catered to booking affordable plane tickets online. Since then, train and bus ticket services have been added after heightened customer interest and requests.
