Altitude

I've worked in travel, so I'm usually a little bit skeptical (especially about flight deals!) This one is great. Chase gave me access to the beta about a month ago, and since then I've seen awesome deals on multiple flights I'd actually book. The best one was SFO-Nashville (where my in laws are, and we've been meaning to visit...) There have also been further afar deals like Barcelona, Paris, and Melbourne. @chasefoto is basically opening up the tools he built for himself. He travels constantly (I'm hoping he shares his personal story in here too). In a lot of travel products, the business model is either non-existent (so the product disappears) or is entirely commission based and I stop trusting that it's sending me the best recommendations. I'd much rather have this model!

Hi everyone! I'm excited to share Altitude today, the busiest air travel day of the year. Backstory On October 21, my 30th birthday, I traveled to my 100th country. This was an ambitious goal that I set a few years back and one that normally would have cost a fortune to accomplish. I had to figure out how to do it affordably. In the process, I used every flight deal tool and tracker out there. I then built tools that I wished existed to help track airfare prices, monitor airfare trends, and seek out the best deals to places around the world. I learned everything associated with frequent travel, including airline quirks, the best airports to transit through, ins-and-outs of frequent flier programs, top travel gear, and much more. My friends and family became interested in what I was doing and started asking me questions about how to travel so much for so little and wanted me to notify them about flight deals. This is how Altitude was born. ✈️ Altitude is your go to site for flight deals and travel tips that will help you become a more savvy adventurer. 🔥Curated, Quality Deals I’ve flown on nearly every major global airline. Every deal that is shared on Altitude has to be one that I myself would travel on. This means no crazy layovers, unreliable budget carriers, or terrible three-stop itineraries. 🛠Customizable Instead of sending one mass deal to all members, you will receive an email or SMS text that is tailored to your preferences. Looking for deals to a certain part of the world? Flights departing specific airports? Or looking to flights on a specific airline to earn elite status? Altitude has customizable filters you can configure. 🌎Domestic + International Coverage Altitude watches for both international and domestic deals departing from all major US airports. You can have as much fun in Paris, France as you can in Paris, Texas and Altitude caters to both audiences. 🗿Destination Insights Travel is meant to be fun. Each deal is sent with at least one tip about the destination. Insights might include favorite restaurants I've visited at a specific destination, hotel recommendations, or sights that cannot be missed. 📚Education A big component of Altitude is the travel tips and tutorial sections, which will continue to grow every week. Members have access to all posts and can suggest future ideas and topics to be covered. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Ad Free + Member Supported Altitude is 100% member supported and ad free, which means my only motivation is to help you save money and travel smart. There are no referral links, affiliate links or credit card sales pitches on the site. 💬 Here To Help Most importantly I want to help people get out and see more of the world. Have a question about travel, miles + points, or a specific destination? I'm always available to help! Seriously. I reply to every email and you can also reach me via DM. Come give Altitude a spin, I'd love to get your feedback and have you along for the ride!

Looks good but I’m not sure how it is different from Scott’s cheap flights. For $40/yr, it’s cheaper than Altitude ($5/month). Would be helpful if the landing could show some comparison for users like me. Since your target audience is deal hunters, they probably already know about sites like SCF.

@ellenchisa congrats on your PH listing, Altitude looks great! We would like to offer you to publish an interview about Altitude at https://startupradius.com/ please PM me at paul@startupradius.com for more details
