From lost luggage to last-minute rebookings, Duckbill has always been a quiet superpower and hack for travel chaos. But with the current government shutdown creating ripple effects across the country- delayed flights, frozen services, mounting stress- we want to remind you: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to handle it all yourself.
We’re a growing startup, but we know exactly where we shine. Duckbill’s here to take weight off your plate— especially now, when even simple things feel hard.
Here’s how we’re helping during the shutdown:
For travel tangles:
Secure refunds or credits for cancelled or delayed flights
Track down lost luggage—or file claims if it’s gone for good
Research and book alternative routes when plans fall apart
Find reliable pet boarding when schedules shift
Navigate travel insurance options or file claims on your behalf
For everyday impact:
Locate hard-to-find prescriptions
Answer health insurance questions, especially during benefit uncertainty
Find therapists with availability to support shutdown-related stress
Research COBRA coverage if job status changes
Help furloughed families apply for school meal programs
Order affordable meal kits or coordinate food pantry access
