Overview
Stellagent will host a free online webinar, "How AI Agents Are Changing Travel Booking — What Rail, Airline, and Hotel Businesses Should Start Doing Now," on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 11:00 JST. The webinar centers on a live demo in which an AI agent takes a natural-language request and carries out the entire booking process — searching and comparing flights, selecting seats, confirming the reservation, and completing payment.

A live demo of AI agents booking flights and Shinkansen tickets, and what booking businesses should prepare for
Background
AI agents are approaching the point where they can organize a user's travel plans, compare transport, accommodation, seats, and fares, and proceed all the way through booking and payment. Rather than opening booking sites one by one, users will simply tell an agent, "I need to be in Osaka by mid-morning for next week's business trip."
This shift — known as agentic commerce — began in retail and e-commerce and is now expanding into booking and transportation. What it demands of operators is not simply adding an AI chat widget to their site, but redesigning how their products, inventory, membership services, and booking experience are discovered and used when AI agents become a new entry point for reservations. The webinar frames this change as a business opportunity rather than a technical deep dive.
Highlight: Live Demo of Flight and Shinkansen Booking
The centerpiece of the webinar is a live booking demo. Starting from a natural-language request, an AI agent compares multiple flights and fares, selects seats, confirms the reservation details, and completes payment — going beyond search suggestions to actual execution.
We will also discuss how customer touchpoints and sales channels across the travel and transportation industry will change as this capability extends beyond flights to rail, hotels, rental cars, and tour tickets.
Who Should Attend
- Operators with booking or sales channels in rail, airlines, hotels, rental cars, or travel products
- DX, business development, and product managers who want their booking systems and membership platforms to be accessible to AI agents
- Anyone who wants to keep customer relationships and data in-house as bookings increasingly flow through external AI platforms
