FlyKube is a Barcelona-based travel-tech startup that sells surprise/mystery trip packages (flights plus hotel) to undisclosed European, North African and Middle Eastern destinations, revealed roughly 48 hours before departure. Founded in 2017, it also offers a luxury VIPKUBE tier and a budget tier starting at €99, and claims to have served over 100,000 travelers across 90+ destinations. It raised a small seed round in 2019 and later ran an equity crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube.
