Founded by NUS Overseas Colleges alumni Darryl Han, Foo Shi Hong, and Yu Ko, LFG gained traction among Gen Z travelers across the USA, Vietnam, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Its viral, mobile-first travel planning experience secured a Top #5 Product of the Day spot on Product Hunt and reached over 5 million views on social media when its video documenting an onboard theft on AirAsia exploded across TikTok and Instagram.
Darryl Han and Foo Shi Hong will join Fly Fairlyโs leadership team as part of the acquisition, focused on product, content, and strategy. โWe've always envisioned LFG as a top-of-funnel discovery product, and we've been actively seeking the right partner to help convert inspiration into actual bookings" said Darryl Han, Co-founder and CEO of LFG.
