How it works

We watch the routes our members ask for and only email you when a fare drops far below what it should cost.

A fare like this lasts hours, not days.
  1. 1

    Tell us where you fly from

    Add your home airport (up to five on Pro) and the destinations you dream about. Both matter: we search the routes members ask for, so your picks are what puts your routes on the list. That is all the setup there is.

  2. 2

    We watch fares around the clock

    We check real fares on your routes several times a day and compare each one against what that route normally costs. When a price falls far below its own baseline, it gets flagged. Busier routes get checked most often; newer or lower-traffic ones can take a little longer to get going.

  3. 3

    Every deal is double-checked

    Before anything reaches you, the fare is checked again against live prices to confirm it is still there and still far below normal. Anything that no longer holds up does not go out. So your inbox only ever holds fares actually worth grabbing.

  4. 4

    You get an email and book fast

    We email you the route, the price, why it is a deal, and a link to book. Mistake fares are perishable, so the sooner you act, the better your odds.

What counts as a deal?

Two kinds of fares set off our alerts. Mistake fares (also called error fares) happen when an airline or its systems publish a price by accident: a missing fuel surcharge, a currency mix-up, a decimal in the wrong place. They can be a fraction of the normal cost and usually disappear within hours. Anomaly deals are legitimate sales and price drops that fall well below a route's typical price, without the accident. Both are worth knowing about; we watch for both.

A fair word of caution on mistake fares

Airlines are not always required to honor a genuine mistake fare, and once in a while a ticket gets cancelled after purchase. That is the nature of error fares everywhere, not something unique to us. Our advice is the same as every seasoned deal-hunter's: book the flight, but wait until the ticket is confirmed before you buy non-refundable hotels or make unchangeable plans. We flag when a fare looks like a likely mistake so you can weigh the risk.

What you control

Your alerts are yours to shape. From your settings you can set a price ceiling, limit results to nonstop or a maximum number of stops, choose a trip length, pick travel months or exact departure dates, filter by cabin (economy through first), and narrow to specific airlines. Set it once and the deals that reach you already fit.

Free versus Pro

The free plan covers one home airport, North America deals, and a twice-daily digest. Pro adds up to five airports, deals first without the free plan's 12-hour wait, international and premium-cabin deals, and every filter above. It is $59.99 a year, and you can cancel anytime.
