Secret Flying

Secret Flying is a free service to help holidaymakers find the best deals on their air travels.

Established by a team of partners, including SkyScanner, the service shares the cheapest and most savvy deals available with users in real time.

It does this by using a custom-built algorithm which consistently scans ticket prices to detect error fares, cheap deals and unannounced sales, which are then posted.

The company is not a travel agent and only lists the deals available, sourcing its revenue by taking a commission out of the savings made by the user.

None of the users' personal information or payment details are collected along the way.

Secret Flying founder Tarik Allag first got the idea of the company four years ago, when he stumbled upon an error fare of $160 for a New York to Rio de Janeiro roundtrip.

Tarik then decided to create a website to help frequent and casual travellers find the best deals.

Once someone selects a deal, they are automatically redirected to the tickets' corresponding page on SkyScanner, with the correct dates, times, and destination already selected and can then proceed with their booking directly.

The Secret Flying applications, on iOS and Android, sends alerts on flight deals as soon as they become available.

Users can register for free on the app and choose to only receive deal alerts based on the departure cities they have subscribed to.
