You're In Business

Fly Cruise Stay is a long-running (since 2014) travel affiliate website based in Ireland. While it has secured several regional and niche industry awards (e.g., Irish Tech News IoT Awards longlist, LUXLife), the submission is heavily impacted by hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and a discrepancy in the project name ('SwiftBlade'). The business model relies on standard affiliate partnerships (Skyscanner, Skiplagged) rather than proprietary technology, despite 'IoT' marketing claims. With ambiguous financial data ('marketcap: 50000') and likely low organic traffic relative to major OTAs, the project scores as a functional but small-scale lifestyle business rather than a high-growth tech venture.
