About the Founder
Founder & Builder of Way Back Tours
Tony Albert is a Cincinnati-based entrepreneur who spent years building a successful service company before shifting his focus to a bigger idea — making flights more enjoyable, useful, and actually worth remembering.
After logging hundreds of hours researching history, maps, aviation, and traveler behavior, Tony realized most inflight time is wasted time. Way Back Tours is his answer: a simple, offline-ready experience that turns any seat on any airline into a personalized window into the world below.
Tony built Way Back Tours from the ground up with one goal: deliver stories, points-of-interest, games, and travel insights without requiring airlines to integrate or passengers to struggle with Wi-Fi. His background in scaling a real business, leading teams, and creating customer-focused systems shaped every decision in the app.
Today, Tony continues to run Way Back Tours with a builder's mindset — move fast, be transparent, aim big, and make travel better for millions of flyers.
