Like having a friend who's brilliant at finding flights.
Except she’s a bot, so she’ll actually check your route twice a day for four months without getting bored.
What a price alert can't do
She plans trips, not legs
Combines one-way fares and self-transfer routings into whole-trip totals that round-trip search engines miss.
She checks the seller, not just the price
Screens cheap fares against ATOL/IATA accreditation and Trustpilot before recommending. She won't headline a scammy travel site.
She earns a commission on some bookings — and she'll still tell you when the cheap one's a scam. Screening happens before she knows who pays. If the honest answer is “book direct with the airline”, that's the answer you get.
She counts the real cost
Factors in baggage fees, so a "cheap" fare that charges £50 for a bag doesn't fool the comparison — flagged as an estimate when an airline hides its fees.
