Travel expertise, turned into intelligence
Travel is unlike any other category in commerce. Precision’s intelligence is built entirely around it — shaped by real journeys, tuned to every market, and sharpened by patterns identified across routes, airlines, and time. The result is unrivalled depth of insight into how travel works.
Travel expertise, turned into intelligence
Travel is unlike any other category in commerce. Precision’s intelligence is built entirely around it — shaped by real journeys, tuned to every market, and sharpened by patterns identified across routes, airlines, and time. The result is unrivalled depth of insight into how travel works.
The Hidden Stopover
Fraudsters book long routes with stopovers but only fly part of them — exploiting the gap between how a booking looks and how the journey is actually flown. Without travel-specific intelligence, the pattern is easy to miss.
Precision’s approach
Precision reads the journey, not just the booking — detecting segment-skipping patterns, weighing route risk against booking timing, and telling a typical stopover from a suspicious one, using models trained on real airline data.
Why this is hard to catch
Stopover patterns reveal themselves only when you know what ‘typical’ looks like for that route, that airline, that booking window — a depth of knowledge built over years.
Premium Ticket Blind Spots
Business and premium class tickets carry generous change and cancellation policies — and fraudsters know it. The flexibility designed to serve business travellers becomes the loophole fraud schemes exploit, often invisible.
Precision’s approach
Precision ingests and interprets fare class data and change rules from multiple airlines, combined with airline-specific logic shaped by years inside travel
The result: Sharper approvals and high-value revenue protected
Why this is hard to catch
Fare class data alone isn’t enough. The patterns only emerge through layered airline logic and travel-specific expertise built over years.
Dummy Passenger Tactic
Fraudsters match stolen card data to passenger names so the booking looks consistent on paper. With everything appearing to line up, the transaction slips past automated systems and manual reviews alike.
Precision’s approach
Precision draws on our unmatched flight data intelligence, reading each booking in wider context rather than at face value — and continuously detects both familiar and emerging fraud signals as tactics evolve.
Why this is hard to catch
The strength of this tactic is how legitimate it looks. Detecting it takes cross-system intelligence and adaptive expertise built across years of evolving travel fraud.
Decoding Distance
Travellers often book from seemingly unusual locations — connecting flights, multi-leg trips, international business travel. Without travel context, these unusual origin-destination pairs can look suspicious.
Precision’s approach
To Precision, they’re just travel behaving as it does. It reads geographic distance the way travel actually works. Advanced geolocation tracking and contextual origin-destination logic, tuned for travel’s patterns.
Why this is hard to catch
What looks suspicious in one industry is routine in another. Without travel-specific behavioural intelligence, false declines cost real revenue and lost customers.

The Structural Reality of Travel Fraud
Fraud in Travel Follows Different Rules. Here’s Why That Matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the most common questions about fraud prevention and system implementation. Understand how it works, how it integrates, and what to expect at every stage.
Can Precision prevent fraud in GDS bookings?
Yes. Precision supports fraud screening for transactions originating from the GDS, where the airline is the merchant of record. Precision is uniquely positioned to assess fraud risk in indirect distribution channels, applying its full decisioning framework — rules, models, and travel-specific intelligence — to ensure a consistent risk strategy across direct and indirect sales flows, without separate integrations or channel-specific fraud tools.
What is dynamic 3DS, and how does Precision use it?
Dynamic 3DS means applying 3D Secure authentication selectively based on real-time risk, rather than universally across all transactions. Precision evaluates each transaction within its broader risk framework — analysing behavioural signals, transaction context, historical risk data, and travel-specific indicators. Low-risk transactions proceed frictionlessly. Only transactions exceeding calibrated risk thresholds are stepped up to 3DS. This avoids unnecessary authentication prompts that cause customer drop-off. Precision’s 3DS strategy is continuously optimised based on approval rates, conversion impact, and fraud outcomes, applying authentication only where it meaningfully reduces risk.
