We run every price through 4 analytical filters before it ever reaches you. Here's exactly what that looks like.
Get My Personal Flight Plan See exactly how our system works →Every flight price we publish passes through 4 analytical filters. Here's what we check — and the live data behind each one.
We compare every fare to 90 days of historical data on that exact route. If it's not genuinely below the statistical corridor, we don't publish it.
The same flight costs 40–60% more or less depending on when you book. We track the optimal purchase window for every route and flag when you're inside it.
Baggage, seat selection, changes — we break down the fees that turn "$99" into $250. No surprises at checkout.
Fake countdowns, inflated reference prices, bait-and-switch availability. We score every deal for manipulation signals before it goes live.
Here's exactly what a verified FlyDealNow alert looks like — broken down data point by data point.
These are the 5 manipulation tactics we detect most often — with real examples from routes we've tracked.
Inflated reference prices. Airlines raise the "original" fare before a sale so the discount looks bigger. A $299 ticket gets labeled "Was $599" — but it was never $599.
Fake urgency countdowns. "Only 2 seats left at this price!" is a dynamic display tactic, not real inventory data. The timer resets when you refresh.
Bait-and-switch availability. The deal price exists for one date at 2am on a Tuesday in January. Every other date is 40% higher.
Hidden fee stacking. The base fare is cheap. Then comes: seat selection, checked bag, credit card surcharge, booking fee. The "deal" is now market rate.
Seasonal baseline confusion. A January fare looks cheap compared to summer peaks — but it's exactly average for January. Not a deal. Just a season.
Four steps. Every route. Every fare. No exceptions.
We scan 500+ routes multiple times per day, capturing every fare movement across all major carriers.
Each price is compared against a 90-day baseline. Only fares that fall below the statistical floor proceed.
We score every qualifying fare for the 5 manipulation signals. High-risk deals are flagged or discarded.
