World’s First Flight NFTickets By Travelx
An NFTicket is a non-fungible token ticket that handles every travel record as an NFT. The NFT is tied to the blockchain which gives it security, authenticity, and immutability to the ticket and the possibility of trading and managing it as a “tokenized” asset for owners. Each NFTicket will be designed by a renowned artist, infusing meaning and art into what was once a simple flight ticket.
This has marked the beginning of the world’s first flight NFTickets by Travelx. The first 10 NFTickets in history will mark the paradigm shift in the travel industry. Given the notability of each NFT artist, the NFTickets will become unique and eternal collectible pieces.
The NFTickets also unlock access to a series of unique and exclusive events during Art Basel – Miami for its owners.

What Is The Idea Behind The World’s First NFTicket?
“Innovation is in our DNA. We have been pioneers in applying new technologies within our industry. It can not be different with NFTs, which could be the next step in the travel industry,” said Bernardo Botella, Global Sales Director at Air Europa. “We are proud to be the first airline to adopt blockchain technology for inventory management and distribution. We’re excited to see where this could take travel as a whole and how it could improve customer experience.”
NFTickets function as traditional NFTs and are individually rare. When traded, transactions are recorded safely and securely on the blockchain. When ready to use, the owner can present the NFT and a matching flight ticket will be issued. The TravelX and Air Europa NFTickets will offer buyers an opportunity to hold a piece of travel industry history and participate in the first-ever blockchain-backed flight.

The NFTicket series titled, “The Art as the Destination,” is being curated by Ximena Caminos, who commissioned acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist Carlos Betancourt for the first piece. His artworks explore issues of memory, and his own experiences, while also dwelling on issues of nature, the environment, and matters of beauty, identity, and communication. Carlos Betancourt’s artworks are included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art NY, and Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery DC, amongst others.
“Artists are intrigued by discovery, exploration,” said Betancourt. ” The same is with technology. With this piece, I’m experimenting with the boundaries of art and technology. The animated artwork is inspired by concepts of space, magical realms, and travel experiences, as well as by the memories and feelings these experiences evoke.”
“It’s very exciting to give birth to a new kind of NFT, minted on Algorands carbon-negative blockchain,” said Facundo Diaz, Co-Founder of TravelX. “We will blend the best of the traditional NFT, but add real-world application and experience. This provides a better flight ticket that travelers can easily manage and trade from their blockchain wallet, combined with a new kind of collectible art piece. We believe NFTickets will be the perfect fusion of art, travel, and technology.”
