Lanes & Planes

Lanes & Planes is a Munich-based travel and expense (T&E) management platform that positions itself as the financial infrastructure for European corporate travel. The platform covers the full T&E lifecycle in one system: travel request, digital approval flows, booking, and final accounting. Its inventory spans European rail (Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB, SBB, SNCF), flights from the major global carriers and alliances including NDC content, over seven million hotels via direct interfaces plus HRS, Expedia and Booking.com, Airbnb for Work, global rental cars, and ground mobility including the Deutschland-Ticket and Flixbus. The product is built for finance departments, emphasizing VAT-compliant automated invoicing, German per-diem (VMA) tax logic, centralized billing on a single creditor, real-time budget tracking, and automated travel-policy enforcement. It integrates with ERP and accounting systems (DATEV, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, Addison) and with HRIS platforms, offering native Personio synchronization and an External API (ExtAPI) for other HRIS and identity systems such as Workday, BambooHR and HiBob. Enterprise authentication is via SAML 2.0 single sign-on. The company is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, is GDPR compliant, and hosts on European servers. Lanes & Planes is backed by Battery Ventures.

Lanes & Planes publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Travel, Business Travel, Travel Management, and Expense Management.

Lanes & Planes’ developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 17 more developer resources.

  description: 'The External API (ExtAPI) is named in the company''s own llms.txt as the integration surface used to synchronize
    employee and organizational data from HRIS and identity systems that lack a native connector (for example Workday, BambooHR
    and HiBob), alongside the native Personio integration. The API is partner- and customer-gated: Lanes & Planes publishes
    no public developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI definition, or self-service credentials, and access is arranged through
    the implementation manager assigned during onboarding. The baseURL below is the live api.lanes-planes.com host on the
    company domain, recorded here as the observed API host; it serves no public documentation or discovery document. This
    entry is a placeholder for a real but undocumented API surface, not a description of a published API program.'
