What is the best flight search these days?
At https://kiwi.com we combine flights ourselves instead of just taking the combinations from the big guys, you should try it out with a few queries. Not being limited to airline agreements when connecting flights can really drive the price down or make obscure routes viable.
Apparently the rewrite of this dry wall of text is not live yet, so let me paraphrase:
You contact us and we book you the flight that gets you to your destination the earliest (if needed we pay for a taxi or bus or anything to get you to another airport if needed.)
This doesn't sound like a 100% guarantee. Most of the times on the day tickets will be a lot more expensive than advance purchases.
I'm not sure about the details since I don't have much to do with the legal side of things, but I would assume that Kiwi.com had to put this clause in to avoid having to pay when a flight's price is 1000x higher than it should be as an error fare, or similar cases. I've personally never heard of a case where expenses weren't fully covered because of this clause.
Concorde — Discover cheap flights to hundreds of destinations worldwide: https://concorde.io
1. By creating an account, you can search from your home airport to hundreds of destinations worldwide. 2. Yes, the filters you propose are very achievable in the near-term, meaning that I already have the data, I just need to create the appropriate front-end for viewing it. 3. Exactly. The quality of the deal is intended to be mileage-run worthy, but not necessarily everyone wants to earn miles. I've found a lot of people just want a cheap and fun vacation spot that is somewhere far from home.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions for improvement! Thanks!
Relied on their price forecasting tip on one flight the other month. It advised waiting until the last few days to buy, and that paid off.
