Frequently Asked Questions

Most of our deals focus on international destinations, but we do offer popular domestic destinations like Hawaii for the US. We take seasonality into account for domestic deals. For example, during ski season we look for deals to the mountains in the Northeast US.

It’s an annual fee.

Yes, you are not restricted by how many people fly with you on our deals. Since you are booking directly with the airline, book for as many people as you’d like!

You will get flight deals out of your home airport and all airports within a 3-hour drive of your “home airport”. Upon request, we can add airports that are further away if you are willing to drive or fly to them.

Most deals we send are economy, but we also share great business class deals that we find.

We send you a deal that we find with some example dates where we found validity/availability, and you book it directly with the airline if it works for you. We provide detailed instructions in our deal emails.

Most deals use major airlines that offer one free checked bag. Low-cost airlines charge for a checked bag, so we take extra fees into account before deciding whether a deal is good or not.

Since every deal is hand-verified, we do not send deals on airlines or via connections that we personally would not fly on/connect through. For example, we closely monitored the 2017 Qatar airspace blockade and did not send deals through Qatar because we believed there was a chance that you could get stranded there due to that event.

No. For most people, the challenge with travel is getting an affordable flight.

If a flight to Paris is normally $1500 per person, but we can get you there for $400 per person, then you will have a lot more cash available to use on your hotel(s) and meals. That’s why we focus only on flights.

We’re not taking requests for specific dates or destinations at the moment. Right now, our service works best for those who are flexible on where and when they travel, as we can’t guarantee deals for pre-made plans, but we’ll keep you updated and send you a flight deal alert on all the best deals we find available from your airports!

Your subscription is set to auto-renew every year, but you can turn this off by logging into your member portal or reaching out to us.

You book directly with the airline. We are not part of the ticketing process at all. Since we are member-supported, we make no commission on deals or flights you take. We hope you travel more through our deals but we make no commission or receive any incentives from the airlines if you do book a flight.

This allows us to be completely honest about what we think are great deals and not try to push you into a flight so that we can make a few extra bucks. Trust is very important to us. That’s why every email we send you will be a legitimately awesome deal that gives you the flexibility to book.

No. Because we are member-supported, we make no commission on deals or flights you take. This also removes any bias we have about deals.

Most people need to coordinate their vacation with their boss and travel buddy. That’s why we don’t send last-minute deals. We usually send deals that are 1-6 months out.

Yes, you can change your home airport as well as adjust your surrounding airport settings via your member portal, or you can reach out to us as we’d be happy to do it for you.

You will likely get deals from us 2-3 times a week for trips you can plan to take in about a month from now or further out.

Again, it’s really important to understand that we will be sending you deals only to really interesting places and only when we think the deal makes sense.

Yes, you book directly with the airline. That means if you have any airline’s points, miles, certificates, or other credits, you can use them with that airline.

If you have a travel credit on your credit card, that should work too because you are booking directly with the airline. We only tell you when we find a deal and the details around the deal. You book your tickets, not through us or any link we send you.

Yes, since these are paid fares, you should earn miles/points for future free travel or airline loyalty status. However, if you pay for your ticket using points or miles, rewards/loyalty earnings may be affected. You’ll also earn points or miles when you use a travel rewards credit card to purchase your tickets.

We don’t have anywhere to search our site for deals as our hunters do all the searching for you and then send the cheap flight deals directly to your inbox, so you don’t miss any chances to fly!

Nope! We require a card on file to sign up, but your card won’t be charged until the end of your 30-day free trial.
