Once they have selected the wanted deals, users will be redirected to the relevant travel partner websites to finish the transactions. 

Among the offered promotions are a Rp 1 million (US$74.4) discount on airline tickets from Traveloka, up to a 30 percent discount on purchases done on AirAsia's mobile app and Jakarta-Tokyo round trip tickets for Rp 4 million++ with ANA from via.com.
