Get mistake fares that save 80%+
straight to your inbox

A mistake fare (a.k.a. error fare) is an airline ticket priced far below what the airline intended — usually due to a currency conversion bug, a fare-filing typo, or a glitch in the revenue management system. They're real, bookable fares, but they disappear fast once the airline notices.

Only when we find one. Mistake fares are rare by definition — expect 2 to 6 alerts per month on average. No weekly digest, no promotional blasts. If there's nothing worth telling you about, you won't hear from us.

In most cases, yes. US DOT rules (14 CFR 259.5) require US airlines to honor tickets purchased in error, even at obviously-wrong prices. International carriers have more flexibility, but most honor mistake fares to avoid PR damage. We note the risk in every alert so you can decide.

Fast. Airlines typically correct mistake fares within 2 to 6 hours of discovery. Book first, plan the rest (hotel, dates, upgrades) after. US DOT's 24-hour rule lets you cancel most bookings for a full refund within a day, so you can lock in the fare risk-free.

Yes. The mistake-fare alert list is free forever. Pointify's paid tier (Pointify Pro) adds per-route alerts, points-availability scanning, and unlimited searches — but the mistake-fare alerts are free for everyone.

Our deal engine scans 300+ airlines every 2 hours and benchmarks every fare against the 90-day median for that exact route + cabin. When a fare drops more than 50% below the median, it's flagged as a potential mistake fare and reviewed before we alert you.

Yes — one click from any email. We include a one-click unsubscribe header per RFC 8058, which means Gmail and Apple Mail show a single-tap unsubscribe button at the top of every alert.
