The Newest Way to Find the Best Airfare Deals

Featured Replies

ExitFares could revolutionize the hunt for airfare deals by mining social media updates, message board posts, e-newsletters, and more to compile the best values anywhere.

ExitFares, which launched last month, monitors numerous online sources to "uncover mistake fares, promo codes, and deals from regional carriers and airlines like Southwest that might not be widely distributing their fare data,” says Naveen Thattil, the company's founder. The best deals are then aggregated and emailed out to users who sign up for free once-a-day updates.

"Airfarewatchdog and The Flight Deal are great sources of information," Thattil says, "but then there's also FareCompare, SecretFlying, StealThisTrip, Stealthtrips, the airlines themselves, and a host of other people within the travel ecosystem talking about great flight deals," including travel blogs and airport social media accounts.

Yes, I saw that. Bummer. I've read up on this a bit and they are looking to expand internationally. Just not sure when. I did like this discussion in the article:

"Airfarewatchdog and The Flight Deal are great sources of information," Thattil says, "but then there's also FareCompare, SecretFlying, StealThisTrip, Stealthtrips, the airlines themselves, and a host of other people within the travel ecosystem talking about great flight deals," including travel blogs and airport social media accounts.

And of course this:

With only about 1,000 users so far and deals from just 20 gateways, ExitFares is still growing, Thattil says. In the coming months, he plans to add real-time emails and texts, a mobile app with notifications, and the ability to search by travel dates.

If you do a deal search:

It seems to go out and get the deals from a whole bunch of websites. Could be great if they get this expanded.

so worthless for any travel but in the states.
