Pricing
Start with no account.
Everything the planner can do is in the free tier. A visitor with no account gets every detector but the ticketing tricks, on cached prices. A pass holds nothing back from free; it adds more trips and a deeper scan of live fares.

$03 plans a day, nothing to sign
- Every ordering of your cities, priced
- Every hack but the ticketing tricks, which need a live search to find
- Priced from the free sources and fares already in the cache, not a paid live check of every leg

Side by side
Three columns, and the interesting ones are the crosses.
Every detector runs on a free plan. A plan made with no account runs all of them but one: the ticketing tricks need a live search to find. The pass holds nothing back from free; it buys more trips and a deeper scan of live fares. The email when a trip gets cheaper is free for everybody.

Billing questions
The money, plainly.
What counts as a trip?
One set of cities from one home airport. Once it exists you can re-plan it as much as you like: new dates, a different order, longer in a city, other flights, even swapping some cities. It stays the same trip while it keeps the home airport and at least half its cities. Past that, or starting fresh from the form, it is a new trip and uses one of your two.
Is $8.99 per person?
No. It is per account, for 30 days: every trip you plan in that time is covered, however many travelers are on it.
Does the pass renew?
No. It is charged once and ends by itself after 30 days, so there is nothing to cancel. Buy another while one is running and the new 30 days start when the first ones end. Your free trips and every plan you made stay yours either way.
Am I being charged today?
Only if you buy a pass. Every account gets its free trips and keeps them, re-planning a trip you already have stays free, and a pass is $8.99 once for 30 days. It does not renew. You see the price on Stripe's own checkout page before anything is charged.
Do you take a cut of what I book?
Some links to Aviasales carry an affiliate code that names this site as the referrer; the terms, section 5, say what that means. It does not change the price you pay, and it never changes which flight the planner recommends: ranking is by what the trip costs you. Every other booking link is a plain link.
What happens to my trips if I stop using it?
They stay on your account and in the browser that made them. You can delete your account and your trips from the account page, at any time, without asking us. The privacy policy lists the little that is kept, and why.
