Content
Airglitch helps you save on flights by covering a comprehensive range of ticketing strategies that are hard to access elsewhere, if at all. We don't sell tickets, but instead show you the best options available for your desired route. We encourage you to book directly with airlines to avoid intermediary fees and complications. To help you understand how Airglitch differs from other flight search engines, we've compiled a comparison below.
Ticketing strategy coverage
See how different platforms compare in terms of ticketing strategy coverage. Except for virtual interlining, which we deprioritize for now due to the risks around missed connections, Airglitch supports everything else. You can read our Guide to Airglitch Booking Strategies to learn more about each of them.

Metasearch vs Travel Agencies
Another key difference lies in the type of platforms you're using. Metasearch engines like Google Flights and Skyscanner are great for comparing prices across multiple airlines and OTAs. Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Kiwi, Expedia and Booking.com issue the tickets themselves, sometimes bundling them with other services.
Airglitch acts as a metasearch engine. We don't sell tickets, and believe that travelers should book directly with airlines to avoid intermediary fees and complications.
When Airglitch works best
Airglitch is particularly effective at bringing down the cost of expensive and high-demand flights. This makes it particularly suitable for:
- Regular flyers on repeat routes
- Convenience-oriented travelers
- Last-minute travelers
- Business travelers
Finding the absolute cheapest flight is generally well served by other platforms, but often at the cost of a couple stops, longer layovers, distant airports and other inconveniences. If you are craving a direct prime flight leaving on Friday right after work, Airglitch does a great job at finding you a cheaper booking option.
