Who we are
Originating in the United Kingdom, Cheapflights made its entrance as the first travel search engine and flight comparison site in 1996. Enjoying great success and profitability in the UK, Cheapflights spread its wings and launched the U.S. site in May 2003. Since its inception in the UK and the U.S., Cheapflights has experienced dramatic growth in site traffic, flight deals, revenue and new customers, and each year builds additional loyalty and recognition among its consumers and partners. Currently, Cheapflights' monthly global traffic reaches more than 6 million visits.
In February 2008, as part of a planned upgrade for the Group’s sites, Cheapflights.com relaunched its website using Cheapflights’ new technology platform. The new design features a more user-friendly homepage that appeals to consumers and clients. The new design provides travelers better options for finding deals using a location-based search, which compiles deals for destinations, instead of specific travel dates. The new design also allows for easier scalability for additional international expansion and more effectively caters to the site’s advertisers, which can better target their messages to the exact travelers they want to reach. Cheapflights launched into Canada and Germany in 2008 and has further overseas sites currently planned.
What we do
Cheapflights offers an ideal alternative for travelers who are flexible with their travel dates and are looking for the best overall travel deal. We offer consumers flight options based on price, dates of travel and airlines, however we do not book flights or hotels. We work with our partners to supply travelers with the best travel deals to worldwide destinations. Cheapflights publishes flight deals from both traditional and low-cost airlines, as well as smaller specialty-travel providers, plus last-minute deals and flight offers not available anywhere else on the web. Every day, travelers can search more than one million flight deals from both traditional and low-cost airlines, as well as smaller specialty-travel providers, plus handpicked deals from flight offers exclusive to Cheapflights.com and selected by our travel experts.
We give you two ways to search. If you’re flexible with your travel dates, search by region, city or country and Cheapflights will show you the best deals and partner site where you can book your travel. The site also offers a ‘search by date’ option for travelers who do not have flexible dates.
