The published fare is the ceiling

Check the airline fare before you pay

You already know the flight. Business or first, a date that can move by a day, one to three travellers.

The quote shows the fare that airline published the same day, for that flight and that cabin, next to the lower fare and the gap between them. The gap varies with the route, the date and the cabin. When there is no cheaper fare, the quote shows the published price and a zero gap. Both figures are real fares for the same flight.

This is an airline seat, not the aircraft. The timetable, the airport and the contract of carriage stay with the airline. From about six travellers, or when the departure time has to be yours, the whole aircraft usually wins: an empty leg, a group charter or an on-demand charter.

Compare the published fare with the quote, then decide.

How it works

Four moves between the site price and the quote

The number only means something next to the fare the airline is showing today.

  1. Set the trip

    Route, cabin and how many of you. A day of flexibility on either side opens the fares that public search skips. A fixed departure time is a different product: that is charter.

  2. Look under the published price

    We take the fare the airline site shows that day for that flight and that cabin. If a sale is already on the airline site, that sale is the reference. The gap is measured against it, not against a flexible fare nobody was going to buy.

  3. Read both prices, and the rules

    The quote stacks the published fare and the lower fare, then the rules that change the trip: changes, refunds, miles, baggage and how long the fare can be held. A cheaper ticket with a harsh change rule is still a cheaper ticket, and you should see that rule before you say yes.

  4. Accept, or don’t

    Nothing is charged before you accept. Fares move. If the lower one is gone by the time you reply, we say so and re-price against that day’s published fare. If the airline site is already lower, we tell you so.

The timetable and the airport stay the airline’s. Flyius finds the fare and puts both prices on one page.

Which product

A seat, or the whole aircraft

Same trip, different product. The quote should tell you which one is actually cheaper today.

ProductWhat you buyWhen it winsWhat to watch
Business or first seatOne seat on a scheduled flightOne to three travellers, a date that can moveChange and refund rules are often stricter than the airline’s flexible fare
Empty legThe whole aircraft, on a fixed repositioning routeDates that can move to the flight that already existsThe route and the time are the operator’s, not yours
Group charterThe whole aircraft, split across the partyAbout six travellers or moreThe per-person numbers only work once the aircraft is full enough
On-demand charterThe whole aircraft, on your scheduleA departure time that cannot move, or a city pair with no useful airlineYou pay for the aircraft, including the hours it flies empty to reach you

At two, the airline seat usually wins. At six, ask for both numbers the same day.

Before you pay

Two prices. One flight.

The discount is only real if you can see what it was taken from.

  1. The published fare, the same day

    Both numbers are for the same airline, the same flight number, the same cabin, on the day the quote is sent. The percentage is the gap between them on that day, for that flight.

  2. The rules that change the trip

    A fare can be cheaper because it cannot be changed, cannot be refunded, earns no miles, or holds for hours rather than days. Those rules are on the quote, next to the price. If they do not fit the trip, the published fare is still there.

The airline operates the flight. Flyius finds the fare and sends it. You accept, or you don’t.

FAQ

Business and first, without the crossed-out price

Is this the same seat as on the airline site?

Same airline, same flight, same cabin. What often changes is the fare rule: changes, refunds, miles and baggage can be tighter than the flexible fare the airline puts on its homepage. Both sets of rules are on the quote.

Where does the lower price come from?

From the fare source named in your quote. The airline operates the flight; we put that fare next to the one the airline published that day, and you decide.

How big is the gap?

It depends on the route, the date, the cabin and what the airline publishes that day. The quote shows both fares and the gap. If nothing beats the airline site, it shows that fare and a zero gap.

Can I change the name or the date?

Only if that fare allows it. Some of the lower fares do not. The quote says so before you accept. A fare you cannot change is a bad fare if the trip might move.

Do I earn miles?

It depends on the fare and on the programme. Some of these tickets earn miles. Some earn none. The quote says which, instead of assuming the flexible fare’s accrual.

Who operates the flight?

The airline named on the quote. The contract of carriage is theirs. Flyius finds the fare, sends both prices, and stops there until you accept.

We are six, or the departure time cannot move. Is this still the page?

This page is for individual seats. For six or more travellers, or a fixed departure time, ask for a whole-aircraft quote: group charter, an empty leg if the dates can move, or on-demand charter.

Send the route. Come back with two fares, or with one if the airline site is already lower.

Business or first. The flight you already had in mind. A quote, and nothing charged before you accept.
