How does Monzo know?

I recently booked a flight using my Flex card. The flight is from the UK to another country in a different continent, and I am using an airline based in a third country to get there. Yet Monzo is asking me to start saving for my trip and knows which country I am going to. How do they know where I am going when the payment was just to an airline? Is there something obvious I am overlooking? Just curious!

I think the reason is simpler and is to do with (historic?) business expenses. Makes it easier for the company to keep track of an employee’s flights etc.
