We love what we do and are currently spending lots of time talking to people like you, to continue creating LGBTQ+ travel solutions while having an absolute blast together.

You can be part of the fun by booking an online chat with a Rainbow Index team member about your travel and entertainment needs. You could even join our super user group and try new features ahead of the pack with other (opinionated) community members!
