Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for legal contingencies if the Company can estimate the potential liability and believes it is probable that the matter will be ruled on adversely. Accruals for legal contingencies were not material as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. If a legal claim for which the Company did not accrue is resolved against it, the Company would record the expense in the period in which the ruling was made. The Company believes that the likelihood of an ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (alone or combined) that will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is remote. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, however, and unfavorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company leases office space in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. under operating leases. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to up to six years. The Company maintained standby letters of credit (“LOC”) serve as collateral issued to the landlords. The LOCs are collateralized with cash which is included in the line item “Restricted cash” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has purchase commitments aggregating approximately $256,000 as of June 30, 2024, which represent the minimum obligations the Company has under agreements with certain suppliers. These minimum obligations are less than the Company’s projected use for those periods. Payments may be more than the minimum obligations based on actual use. In January 2022, July 2022 and May 2023, the German branch of Travelzoo (Europe) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Travelzoo Germany”), received notification and payments of $1.2 million, $494,000 and $205,000 from the German Federal Government under its Bridging Aid III plan, Bridging Aid III+ and Bridging Aid IV programs, respectively. These programs were for companies that suffered a decrease in sales of at least 30% in one month compared to the reference month in 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Travelzoo Germany applied for the funding in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and was approved by the German government in January 2022, July 2022, and May 2023. The Company is required to submit a final declaration in connection with the grants received by September 30, 2024. The Company believes it was eligible to participate in the programs and is entitled to the funding received and does not expect significant changes to the amounts already received to arise from the final submission. The Company recorded $1.2 million, $494,000 and $205,000 gains in Other income, net in the first and third quarters of 2022 and second quarter of 2023, respectively.
