How Going Works

No, Going is not a travel agency, flight search engine, or travel booking site. Instead, we find deals departing from your chosen US airports and send you an alert when we find a deal that passes our Bestie Test. If you decide to snag one of those deals, we’ll show you how to book it—typically directly with the airline -- but we don’t actually sell you the tickets ourselves. By leaving the logistics to the pros, we can focus solely on finding and sharing the best deals out there.

The majority of our deals are for travel in the future. For the best possible deal "book during the opposite season." If you don't have travel plans right now, but you think you might want to travel later, you'll get a better deal if you book ahead of time. Unless you like paying full price for flights, sign up for a membership today and keep your eyes peeled for deals. Premium members save an average of $550 on each international flight and $200 per domestic ticket. Elite members who book business class flights can save even more—up to $2,000 per international ticket!

We have three membership tiers: Limited, Premium, and Elite.

Limited is our 100% free membership. Limited members receive a small sample selection of economy-class deals. These members can follow up to 5 departure airports.

Premium is one of our two paid memberships that starts with a trial period. Premium members not only get way more deals but also get special deals like Mistake Fares and rare deals that Limited members never see. Simply put, they get our best economy-class deals. These members can follow up to 10 airports.

Elite is our other paid membership that starts with a trial period. Elite members get everything Premium members do. Beyond that, they get even more control over the deals they receive, including the opportunity to get Mistake Fares from all over the US and the option to receive deals in premium economy, business, and first-class. These members can follow an unlimited number of departure airports.

PS. Check out our membership plans and pricing, and if you’ve never redeemed a free trial with us before, you can give Premium or Elite a whirl with our 14-day trial!

We currently search for deals departing airports in the United States of America, including the 50 states, St. Thomas, Guam, and Puerto Rico. However, follow us on social, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates - if we go global in the future, you'll hear it there first!

Here at Going, we lean into the unexpected adventures that await on the other side of a great flight deal. This means that we send you the best deals we can find departing from your closest airport, making the destination a surprise when it lands in your inbox! It’s worth noting that our online experience has a destination search feature and endless ways to filter and explore all available deals, though those filters are not tied to your email preferences at this time.

You can filter all of our deals by airline and alliance when viewing them on our website. We also call out specific airlines and alliances in our deal emails!

Nope! We don’t send out deals on budget airlines with poor customer ratings. Also, none of the deals we send are only available last-minute; most deals are for travel 2-9 months in the future. Although if you are interested in cutting loose on a whim, Premium and Elite members can check out the Weekend Getaways we send their way, which are nonstop domestic and quick international flights departing within the next month. Premium and Elite deals will often also include summer, peak season, and holiday availability.

It's simple! When you're ready to book, you'll buy your tickets directly through the airline or an Online Travel Agency (OTA) rather than on our website. Follow our instructions and link listed in the deal we send you, pick your travel dates, and you'll be able to book that trip!
