GastGastGast exists because the tools that existed were not built for European frequent flyers.
I'm Jakke — Jakob Bourhil. I grew up just outside Stockholm, with a Swedish mother and a Moroccan father. Every summer meant two weeks in Málaga, then two months in Morocco with family, and a string of European trips besides. I was on planes long before I had any reason to think about what the miles were worth.
At nineteen I moved to Norway for my first sales job, which meant flying regularly for work. A couple of years later I started a web agency in Östersund. Company travel, client trips, goal-reward flights — that's where the points-and-miles obsession properly took hold, over about five years of accumulating and mostly not knowing what I had.
I eventually moved back to Stockholm, met my partner, worked in sales at a few places, then joined a SaaS company as the bridge between the commercial and technical side — I'm both a developer and in sales, which turned out to be a useful combination. The company had an exit. I was hooked on SaaS, and I've been a serial founder since — some things working, some not. My partner and I moved to Málaga, a city I'd been coming to since childhood, and I rejoined my old web agency remotely.
Two months into the trip, I tried AwardWallet for about ten minutes — and deleted it.
In spring 2025, my partner and I set off to travel the world together. First flight: MAD → BKK. Two months in, I deleted AwardWallet, sketched out something I called Flajt, and then shelved it. Six or seven months later, on a quiet evening in Åland, the idea came back. This time I did the research properly. Flajt became Gast: iOS-only, no credentials, EU-first, focused on the programmes European collectors actually use.
Gast tracks all five of the programmes I collect — Flying Blue, EuroBonus, RevPoints, Amex Membership Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy. I use it every time I'm deciding whether to spend my points or pay cash.
Just show me what my points are worth — and tell me before they expire.
Balances come in by screenshot, Sheet, or hand. There's no login to share — so there's nothing to leak, and no sync to break when a programme adds 2FA.
Open Gast and start. No signup wall, no password to set, nothing to log into before you see your points.
European programmes, modelled the way they actually work — Avios as one shared balance across six airlines and Barclays.
Gast is being built openly. I share the decisions I'm making, the data I'm finding, and the things that aren't working yet — on LinkedIn and Reddit.
If you're a frequent flyer with opinions about what a points tracker should do, I want to hear from you.
Gast stores all data on EU-resident infrastructure. There's no business reason for your points-portfolio data to leave European soil — so it doesn't.
GDPR delete is a real feature, not a legal footnote: it removes your data immediately and completely. This isn't a requirement we comply with reluctantly. It's how we think the product should work.
Not every loyalty programme on earth — the ones European collectors actually hold, with values and expiry rules kept current.
Across British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, Vueling, Qatar Privilege Club, and Barclays Avios — because that's the way the points actually work, and the way collectors actually think.
One email when it's live on the App Store — and the occasional note from behind the scenes.
No spam. One email when Gast is live on the App Store.
