National Cheap Flight Day is just around the corner … and we think it's criminally overrated. If you really want to save on flights this year and next, we've got just the thing.

No, it's not by booking airline “deals” on National Cheap Flight Day next Sunday, Aug. 23 –  those are more marketing gimmicks than real savings. Instead, you can opt in for exclusive access to our massive sale, getting a full year of the cheapest flights from your home airport for even less! We'll be offering new subscribers a huge bargain on their first year of Thrifty Traveler Premium, our flight deal alert service with cheap domestic and international fares plus award alerts to use your points and miles. If you want to take things even further, there will be big savings on our Premium+ bundle with hotel alerts, too!

We're not spilling the beans just yet, though – sign up for our (free!) Extra Mile newsletter and you'll be the first to know!

Don't worry, current Premium members: Your current (lower!) rate is locked in for life!

Getting our flight deal alerts for even less is a surefire way to save on travel this year, next year, and beyond. From sub-$100 domestic flights to insanely cheap, sub-$400 fares to Europe, deals to redeem credit card points and airline miles, and even ultra-rare mistake fares, we send them all straight to your inbox. Add it all up and we send more flight deal alerts (from more airports – more than 220!) than any other flight deal service.
