Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Shahvaiz, the founder of FlightGlitch.
I built FlightGlitch because the best flight deals usually have two problems: they disappear quickly, and most of the alerts you receive are not even relevant to your departure airport.
FlightGlitch lets you choose your home airports and receive alerts when we find unusually cheap flights or possible airline pricing errors. Each deal also includes an AI-powered breakdown of the price, route, pros, cons, and anything you should know before booking.
The goal is not just to show you a cheap price. It is to help you quickly understand whether the deal is actually worth booking before it disappears.
FlightGlitch currently includes:
✈️ Personalized deals from your selected airports
⚡ Fast mistake fare and cheap flight alerts
🤖 AI-powered deal analysis
💬 An AI concierge for questions about each trip
🔗 Direct links to available booking options
I have been working on this for a while, and I’m excited to finally launch it publicly.
I would love your honest feedback, especially on the deal pages and whether they give you enough information to confidently book a flight.
Thanks for checking out FlightGlitch!

Really like that each deal comes with an AI breakdown of the route, pros/cons and the “things to know before booking” — with mistake fares the price is only half the decision. One thing I’d love to know: does that breakdown also flag how risky the fare is, i.e. the chance the airline voids the booking as an error, so I know when to hold off on booking hotels around it? Congrats on the launch!
@andrei_rebrov1 Yes, the AI breakdown explicitly flags risk of cancellation/voiding as its own signal. We look at a few things: how far the price deviates from typical fares on that route, the airline’s historical behavior with mistake fares (some carriers honor, others nuke bookings within hours), whether it’s a third-party OTA vs. direct airline, and how old the fare is. That gets surfaced in the “Watch out for” section — if you see a red flag like “Likely error fare - airline has voided similar fares in the past” or “Book fast, but wait 24-48h before non refundable hotels,” that’s the risk signal.
For hotels specifically, our rule of thumb is: book the flight first, then wait ~24–48 hours for the airline to confirm or void before locking in non refundable hotels. We actually nudge users toward refundable/cancelable hotel rates during that window. If the deal is tagged “error fare” or shows a high void risk, we’ll say so upfront.
Appreciate the congrats — and glad the breakdown is landing the way we intended. 🙌

@shahvyy Exactly what I was hoping for — flagging airline-specific void history and nudging toward refundable hotel rates during that 24–48h window is the right call. That “Watch out for” section is what turns a raw price into an actual decision. Thanks for the detailed rundown — congrats again!

@shahvyy Wait, the AI actually looks at the likelihood of a mistake fare being honored?? That’s such an obvious thing to add once you hear it, but I’ve never seen a flight deal service do it. Very cool.
@abhiranjan_mehta Yes!! This was one of the biggest things I wanted to solve with FlightGlitch. Finding a crazy fare is great, but knowing what you’re actually getting yourself into before you start planning an entire trip around it is just as important. Glad you caught that!

How are you determining the risk that an airline will void an error fare? Is the AI looking at historical behavior from that specific airline or more at the characteristics of the fare itself? Really interesting feature either way.
Report
Scored a $138 roundtrip to Lisbon last week that would've been $900 on the airline site, alerts hit my inbox within minutes of the mistake going live. Game changer for spontaneous trips.
I want to sign up and see it, but honestly not quite willing to drop my credit card yet. My recommendation - a short free trial so I can see a few alerts would probably have convinced me.
Good luck with the launch!

mistake fares are basically a race against the airline noticing, so speed is everything here. how fast is the alert actually landing after the fare goes live, and once someone books on it have you seen airlines honor it consistently or is there a real risk of a "sorry, we're cancelling this ticket" email a week later

This is one of those products where the value becomes pretty obvious if it works. One good mistake fare could basically pay for years of the subscription.

Just signed up. First impression is that I LOVE being able to filter by my actual airport and budget. I don’t need 50 amazing deals from airports I’m never going to fly out of lol.

hey, are you plannign to launch thsi fro EMEA fligths as well ?
@nikolaos_chr We already have some EU/UK routes in the pipeline, and EMEA expansion is the next priority on our roadmap after we lock down the depth of our current coverage. Think more origin cities across Europe, Middle East hubs, and Africa routes over the coming weeks.
