Project overview
Dove Airline was created as a concept project focused on improving the online flight booking experience. Many travel platforms present users with overwhelming search results, lengthy booking processes and inconsistent pricing information, making travel planning unnecessarily stressful. The objective was to design a streamlined experience that helps users search, compare and book flights with ease. By prioritising clarity, efficiency and user confidence throughout the journey, the project explores how a more intuitive booking experience can reduce friction and support better travel decisions from search to confirmation.

Unclear pricing, inconsistent layouts and overwhelming search results can quickly turn a simple task into a frustrating experience.The challenge was to create a booking experience that feels simple, intuitive and trustworthy while helping users find and book flights with confidence.
