Why switch from Booking.com to Airglitch?

Unique ticketing options

Airglitch offers unique ticketing options that are not listed on traditional platforms, applying a comprehensive range of ticketing strategies that are generally hard to access. They are sometimes called "travel hacks", but we think they should be part of any standard flight search. Our platform excels at finding longer trips that cover your desired route when they are cheaper (the remaining segments can be dropped), and finding ticket combinations that you would not think of looking up, nesting trips and breaking down your itinerary into cheaper tickets.

This results in a range of ticket options that most search tools overlook, e.g:

• Spare multicity
• Spare return
• Layover exit
• Back-to-back tickets
• Nested tickets

No third-party

By encouraging you to book yourself, we save you the hassle of dealing with intermediaries in case of flight changes or cancellations. We make sure you understand the flight you are booking and the trade-offs involved, but think travelers are better off dealing directly with airlines to book and manage their flights.

Why book with airlines

No sponsoring or add-ons

Airglitch is not sponsored by airlines or other travel companies, and we don't push any add-ons or sponsored results. We are fully independent and focused on helping you find the best flight for your needs. This is not guaranteed with platforms reselling flights and other travel services, as they are incentivized to promote options that are not necessarily the best for you.

Then how to get all travel things in one place?

Having all travel services in one place is convenient, but it comes at a cost. First, intermediaries often add a fee on the services they sell. Second, they are incentivized to promote services that are not necessarily the best for you. Last, having another company in the middle creates all sorts of disagreements, especially when things go wrong. For a little extra work, you are better off booking things directly, whether it is a flight, a hotel, a car rental, or an activity.

Are Airglitch booking strategies safe?

Ticketing alternatives exclusively introduced by Airglitch (e.g. spare multicity) are safe and don't have records of causing issues. We prioritize them because they offers a way to save on flights without incurring inconvenients with luggage, flight changes or airline policies. There is one type of established ticketing strategy that has been curbed by airlines in the past: layover exit flights. They are generally consequence-free and most stories of passengers being penalized are anecdotal. However, we only show these options when the savings are worth it and make sure users understand the limitations involved.
