Glooby is a travel search engine that enables users to find and compare prices on airplane tickets and hotels, while indicating the most fuel-efficient flights and eco-labeled hotels.

We are only a travel search engine and we do not sell anything. We search the other travel sites and show you all information you need to make the best travel decision. Once you have found what you want, we let you decide where you want to book and refer you to the booking site where you can complete your booking.

And because our team is constantly improving the site and its features to make the travel industry more sustainable, we offer a variety of new unique features such as a flight carbon emissions calculator and indications of which hotels are eco-labeled, directly integrated in the search results.

Glooby is an independent company, available in Sweden and the United States and two languages. Each day we process queries for travel information from travelers who are looking for the cheapest and most sustainable travel options. Our users are both individuals and companies, but is characterized by environmentally conscious and socially responsible travelers.
