Frequently Asked Questions
How does FlightWeasel work?
We scan over 1,000,000 flights daily and only surface the top 0.05%, the genuinely good deals. You can subscribe to our curated routes or create custom alerts for any route you want. We send you an email at 9am GMT daily if we find great deals.
Is FlightWeasel really free?
Yes! Our basic service is completely free. You can create an account, set up custom alerts, and receive our daily deal emails at no cost. We also offer premium features for users who wants additional benefits like priority support and exclusive deals.
How do you define a "good deal"?
We look for flights that offer genuine value, not just the cheapest price. Our criteria include reasonable flight times, minimal layovers, reputable airlines, and prices significantly below typical market rates. We avoid flights with excessive layovers or multiple stops.
Do you handle bookings?
No, we don't handle bookings directly. When you click on a deal, you'll be redirected to the airline's website or a trusted booking platform. This ensures you book directly with the airline and avoid any additional fees or complications.
How often do you send emails?
We send emails daily at 9am GMT, but only if we've found good deals worth sharing. We don't spam you with mediocre offers, if there's nothing worth your time, you won't hear from us that day.
Can I create alerts for any route?
Absolutely! While we have curated routes for popular destinations, you can create custom alerts for any origin and destination combination you want. Just set your preferences and we'll monitor that specific route for you.
What if I'm not happy with a deal I booked?
Since we don't handle bookings directly, any issues with your flight (cancellations, changes, refunds) need to be resolved directly with the airline or booking platform you used. We're not responsible for third party bookings, but we do our best to only link to reputable sources.
How do you make money?
We make money through our premium subscription service and donations via Buy Me a Coffee. This helps keep our core service free for everyone while allowing us to offer additional features for premium users and maintain the platform.
Can I unsubscribe from emails?
Yes, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by updating your preferences in your account settings. We respect your inbox and won't make it difficult to opt out.
Do you cover flights from outside the UK?
While we're UK based and focus heavily on UK departure routes, we do cover international routes and can help you find deals from other countries too. Our custom alert system works for any origin and destination worldwide.
