FAQ

BEATRIP is a flight-deal site that automatically aggregates airline sales and surfaces flash deals, sale-timing forecasts, and price history. We do not sell tickets — the site is informational only.

We pull sale data directly from the official websites of major carriers including ANA, JAL, Peach, Jetstar Japan, and Scoot. Listings refresh regularly, but always confirm the current fare and seat availability on the airline's official site.

Prices are accurate as of when we fetched them. Airfares fluctuate constantly based on seat availability and exchange rates, so the real-time price may differ. Always confirm the latest fare on the airline's official site before booking.

Our model analyzes historical sale records — start dates, frequency, discount depth, and more — to predict when the next sale is most likely. Forecasts are guidance, not a guarantee that a sale will run.

On any deal's detail page, use the Price Alert section to set the price you'd like to be notified at. We'll alert you when the fare drops to or below that amount. Browser notifications are currently supported.

Tap the heart icon on any deal card to save it. Favorites live in your browser's local storage, so they'll be there the next time you visit from the same browser.

No — we don't sell tickets. The Book button takes you to the airline's official site or a partner booking site, where you complete the booking.

Baggage size, weight, and quantity limits vary by airline and fare type, and LCCs tend to be strict. Our guide covers the basics, but always confirm the latest rules on your airline's official site before flying.

It varies by route and season, but booking several weeks to months in advance and watching for airline sales are generally effective approaches. Our guide explains the thinking in detail.

There is no single site that is always cheapest. The lowest price shifts depending on dates, room type, membership tier, and sale timing. Compare the total price (taxes and fees included) across several sites before booking. Our per-city OTA comparison articles can help.

BEATRIP does not process payments. Accepted methods (credit card, pay-at-property, etc.) and brands depend on the airline or booking site you are redirected to. Always check the available payment options and any fees on the booking screen.

Cancellations and changes are handled by the airline or booking site where you made the reservation. BEATRIP does not hold your booking, so it cannot be cancelled from our site. Always check the cancellation terms (free cancellation vs. non-refundable rate) before booking.

Yes. Some links on BEATRIP are affiliate links. We may receive a referral fee when a booking is completed through a link, but this does not increase the price you pay. See our advertising and affiliate disclosure page for details.

Listing order reflects a combination of our editorial assessment and commission rates, but prices and terms must always be confirmed on the linked site. We avoid one-sided endorsements and aim for neutral comparisons.

Displayed prices are indicative as of the time they were retrieved and constantly change with availability, exchange rates, and sales. Confirm the actual price and inventory on the final booking screen (total including taxes and fees).

Sale information and hotel data are updated automatically on a regular basis, but we cannot fully guarantee accuracy or timeliness. Always verify critical details (fares, cancellation terms, entry requirements) on official sites or public authorities.
