How deals work

We collect billions of airfares to make our airfare price predictions and use that data to uncover cheap airline tickets.

How do we find deals?

With billions of airfare observations at our fingertips, we look at yesterday's lowest airfares to find the absolute lowest fare between two cities in the next 90 days. We compare that low fare to all the airfares we have on record and let you know if that low airfare saves you $25, $50, or more over the average airline ticket between those cities. In some cases, we may even find you a cheap flight that meets or beats the lowest airfare we've ever seen

Why is it a "deal"?

When we find deals, we want you to understand what makes it a great fare. Next to each deal, you'll find a message explaining what makes it a deal. Some examples include:
