I love traveling, taking 20–40 flights a year—I enjoy all aspects of travel, except for deciding where to go next and finding cheap flights. I know there’s no magic hack to save on flights beyond being flexible with dates. But checking countless date combinations to find the best deals is time-consuming. So, I set out to simplify the process: finding the right flights at the best price for any travel plans.
Meet FlyFast, a flight search tool designed with modern travelers in mind. Whether you take 1 or 10 flights a year or just need some travel inspiration, FlyFast will do the hard work for you.
How FlyFast Works
Imagine you’re planning a trip from Toronto to Frankfurt. You know you want to go sometime between January 1 and March 31 and stay between 4 and 10 days—just enough to explore but not too long to drive up hotel bills. With FlyFast, you don’t need to perform multiple searches to find the best dates; simply enter your travel window and desired stay length, and FlyFast does the rest.
FlyFast explores every possible date combination within your range. It shows flights departing on different days across January, February, and March and returning within your preferred stay period. You can customize filters to fit your needs: limit stops, cap flight durations, exclude specific airlines or airports, or avoid U.S. layovers if necessary. FlyFast gives you control over your travel plans.
All book link points you to Google Flights, so you can book directly with airlines. I occasionally show Expedia/Booking if price is least 10% or 50$ cheaper than directly with airlines. I could also just send to directly to airline site with prefilled data, I will think about implementing this soon.
The Power of Deals
FlyFast’s Deals feature is perfect for those open to flexible destinations. You can select up to five origin cities and explore categories like 'popular,' 'beaches,' 'safari,' 'Europe,' or specific airports like Athens. Deals data updates every 24 hours, so you’re always seeing fresh options from FlyFast’s database of around 20 million flight combinations. You can also filter deals by trip length (default is 2 to 15 days) and set custom travel periods.
Why FlyFast Stands Out
FlyFast stands out for its flexibility and focus on affordability without sacrificing user choice. It’s not just about finding flights—it’s about finding the best flights for your unique needs. FlyFast caters to travelers looking to explore on a budget, with transparent options for fares, layovers, and filters for U.S. layovers if passport restrictions apply.
Building FlyFast: A Personal Journey
FlyFast started simply—a project rooted in my love of travel and desire to make it more accessible. I realized that my tech background could help create something valuable for travelers worldwide. Inspired by my experience with Going and my understanding of the industry, I coded FlyFast’s initial version in just ten days. It’s a humble start, but it reflects my commitment to helping people explore the world easily and affordably.
What’s Next for FlyFast?
FlyFast is still evolving. With frequent updates and new features, my goal is to make it the go-to tool for travel enthusiasts. Watching users discover FlyFast’s convenience fuels my drive to refine and expand its capabilities.
If you’re ready to embark on your next adventure with confidence, give FlyFast a try. Who knows? You might just find the perfect flight, at the perfect price, to the perfect destination.
