This is no time to be silent. But we want to put our money where our mouth is, too.
For the next week, we're donating 100% of the sales for Thrifty Traveler Premium, our international flight deal service, to nonprofit organizations in Minnesota and nationally that are leading the charge for equality, justice, and human rights. That means you can support the fight for change while also getting some of the best flight deals to countries across the globe (plus Hawaii and Alaska).

We'll split the proceeds evenly between two groups whose work we think is more important than ever right now:
- The Black Visions Collective, a Black, Trans, and Queer-led grassroots organization and the Minnesota chapter of Black Lives Matter that is pivotal in organizing the fight for justice and equality on the ground in our home state.
- The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which stands up for marginalized communities, voting rights, and First Amendment rights everywhere.

George Floyd's killing at the hands of Minneapolis police last week was tragic but all-too-familiar, just the latest in a string of officer-involved deaths of black men and women. After nearly a week of protests and destructive riots that have spread across the globe, it's clear we've reached a breaking point in a country that has spent the last decade swinging from grief to anger to calls for action … to quickly moving on.
Some things are more important than travel and cheap flights. But this is our way of helping and showing solidarity the best way we know how: Giving to some of the organizations that will make this country a more just place, while hopefully helping heal the world by bringing people together through travel.
Thrifty Traveler Premium costs $45 per year, so your first $45 payment today will go straight to these change-making organizations as a one-time donation – and we'll show receipts! It's a recurring membership, so it'll renew at $45 next year unless you cancel beforehand (but we're sure you'll love it.)
Each and every day, Premium members get 1-3 of the best international flight deals, eye-popping mistake fares, flash sales, and more. If you've got frequent flyer miles, we also occasionally send out award alerts to use your Delta SkyMiles on flash sales, American AAdvantage mile redemptions, and more.

While travel is still largely on hold, we're not sending you last-minute deals. Instead, we're focusing on flights in August and onwards – including travel as far out as April 2021. Premium members also get access to our members-only Facebook travel group and free credit card consulting with our team.
