How FareHustler Works
Transparent flight deal tracking. No tricks, no fake urgency.
What FareHustler Does
FareHustler monitors flight prices from major UK airports to destinations worldwide, tracking thousands of routes daily. We identify genuine price collapses—not sales gimmicks or fake discounts.
Unlike typical deal sites, we rank by drop intensity (percentage off), not absolute price. A £1,200 flight dropping to £540 (55% off) ranks higher than a £100 flight dropping to £80, because the savings are more significant.
Where Prices Come From
Our system fetches current prices from flight data aggregators daily. The "usual" prices shown are modelled estimates based on typical fares for each route—they help illustrate the significance of a price drop but are indicative, not recorded history.
Each deal shows when it was last checked (e.g., "2h ago"), so you know how fresh the data is. Prices update multiple times daily, but can change at any moment on the airline's end.
What "Indicative" Means
Prices on FareHustler are indicative—they reflect what we last saw on booking platforms, but aren't guaranteed. Flight prices change rapidly due to seat availability, demand spikes, and airline algorithms.
When you unlock a deal, you'll get direct booking links to verify the exact price in real-time. We recommend booking quickly if you see a collapse you like, as seats at dropped prices often sell out within hours.
How We Make Money
Affiliate commissions: Some booking links may earn us a small commission when you complete a purchase. This never costs you extra—airlines and OTAs pay us a percentage of their normal fee.
Hotel partnerships (coming soon): We'll integrate hotel deals via OTA partnerships, earning commission on bundled bookings. Our goal is to keep flight deals free while monetizing through optional add-ons.
How Alerts Work (Phase 3 Feature)
When you unlock a deal with your email, you're automatically subscribed to free alerts for similar routes and destinations. We'll notify you when comparable deals appear—no spam, just genuine price collapses.
Coming in Phase 3: Custom route alerts, price drop thresholds, and email preferences dashboard. You'll control exactly which routes you want to track and how often you hear from us.
