Spot a genuine deal, not a fake discount
A fare is only a bargain when you compare it with what the same trip usually costs. Here are real price drops spotted by SniperAir, and how to recognise them.

How to tell a genuine price drop
Compare with the usual fare on the route
A crossed-out price tells you nothing. What matters is the gap between today's fare and what the same trip normally costs at that time of year.
Stay flexible on dates
Leaving a day or two earlier or later, or flying midweek, often changes the price noticeably.
Consider nearby airports
An airport close to home or to your destination can have a better fare. Watching several airports improves your chances.
Let an alert do the watching
Genuine drops can disappear within hours. An alert tells you as soon as a fare falls below your budget, so you do not have to keep checking.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about flight deals
What counts as a flight deal?
A fare clearly below what the same trip usually costs at that time of year. SniperAir compares the price it spots with a reference price built from earlier readings on the route.
Are the examples shown still available?
No. They are flights that have already departed, shown as real examples of the drops we detect. Current offers are available with a free account.
How long does a deal last?
It varies: some drops last only a few hours, others a few days. That is why an alert is more reliable than the occasional search.
Do I have to pay to use SniperAir?
Not to get started: a free plan lets you try the service with one alert. The details of each plan are on the pricing page.
Does SniperAir sell flight tickets?
No. SniperAir watches prices and sends you alerts; you then book with the airline or a booking site of your choice.
