CEO and co-founder of Routehappy

Robert Albert, CEO and co-founder of Routehappy, says that “flying doesn’t have to be a crap shoot.” It looks like investors agree, since the startup just raised $1.5 million in seed funding.

Albert says his goal is to build “the world’s flight experience search engine.” Whenever you look for flights online now, it’s basically all about price and schedule. For many of us, those probably seem like the two most important factors — until we’re crammed into a tiny seat for hours and discover that there’s no on-flight WiFi.
