Destination Weddings, FlyinAway Style

Your friends are getting married, awesome. And they're having a destination wedding, also awesome. But now you have to get a plane ticket to get there. Not so awesome. At least it hasn't been, until now.

It get's more confusing all the time. Where do I find the best airfare online? And do I look months ahead of time, or wait until it gets closer? Will the price go up or down?

We started FlyinAway to put you control of your travel plans. We want to make booking your flight cheaper and easier, and more like the fun you'll have on the trip.

With FlyinAway, you search the route you want to fly. Say you live in Chicago and your friends are getting married in Miami (we only cover domestic routes for now). Then you vote for that route to go to auction. It's free to vote. Shoot your friends an email or a text and get them to hop online and vote for the route as well. When there's enough interest, the route goes to auction.

Then you bid the price you want to pay, with savings up to 65 percent off published fares. You have to become a member to bid ($7.99/month or $79.99/year) but you can bid as many times as you like until the time on the auction runs out. If you win the auction you have a couple weeks to book your flight and you can travel anytime during a six month window. It just has to be at least 30 days out from when you book.

And you can buy four tickets at the winning price. So you get your friends to help vote for the route to go to auction and you help them out by getting a sweat deal on the airfare to the wedding. Everything's more fun when you can bring friends.

Give FlyinAway a try for your summer wedding plans. And remember, at FlyinAway, members always get the best deal on airfare....they choose it!

Enjoy a cheaper, better travel experience

Summer is upon us and many people are planning their vacation getaways. The news is full of stories of travel nightmares, but FlyinAway sees a cheaper, better travel experience in your future.

FlyinAway was founded by insiders of the travel industry and ecommerce with a mission of improving the experience of traveling. With more than 50 years of industry experience combined, we know that scheduling flights to get you where you need to be and when you need to be there is important. We also know that price is important to you. These are the values that a FlyinAway membership can provide to you.

One of the benefits that FlyinAway members have is the ability to save on airfare by selecting the route they'd like to see on sale and -- once that route has garnered enough votes -- bid on the price for fare that they're willing to pay. This can result in a savings of up to 65 p ercent on airfare. Operating with the knowledge that cheap fares are seldom offered for the places that travelers want to visit on the dates that they want to visit, FlyinAway puts the control of travel plans back into the hands of the traveler by letting the crowd decide which routes will go on sale and when.

FlyinAway was listed on Mashable's top ten sites for the best travel deals and Tnooz reported that there is a lot of promise to its mission.

Get in on the buzz.

Your summertime vacation awaits! If you want to make your traveling life fuller, easier and more fun, sign up now.

Flyinaway auctions offer better way to search for airfare


The Internet can be a convenience for the traveler or a confusing mass of information. It has enabled the buyer with the ability to make their own plane reservations, book hotel rooms, find ratings. It has also enabled them to compare. You can go to a cheap air fare site and suddenly 12 other web sites pop up with comparison prices. You go from window to window; prices are close to the same. Then, you find out that discount rate to California includes two stops and total travel time of 15 hours. That’s the vacation the family of four wants. Your eyes are bulging and you’re ready to pull your hair out.


Flyinaway has launched an enjoyable way to shop and fly – auctions. Before you visualize holding a sign with a number or think of a high bidding war that you won’t be able to afford, Flyinaway starts off by offering fares up to 75% lower than the lowest published fare. It is a membership-based site so only members can bid. If you have a destination that might not be as popular as others, the benefits can be tremendous. And you don’t have to practice avoiding the nasty tic that will up the price, because the auction is all online. With many round trip domestic fares running upwards to $800+ per person, Flyinaway auctions are worth checking out. Sure, you might feel nervous about whether your bid will win, but it will beat the hassle and frustration of comparing an endless number of travel sites.

How does it work?

First, you become a member. Then, you enter the home departure and destination cities, your travel dates and number of travelers. Then, you see the minimum price asked, the current bid and bid accordingly. For example, a round trip flight from Philadelphia to Phoenix on Flyinaway is starting at $227. Low cost web sites for the same trip are ranging from $283-$845 for May travel, while one airline site ranges from $512-$1,325 and another airline $283-$406.

As a member, you will receive a flight on the days you want and need to travel and not be subject to the whims of airlines deciding what days they want to discount seats and how many seats are available at the discount. You will be in control. You will be able to find something within your budget.

Sign up now, put the confusion behind and put the pleasure back in travel.

A better, cheaper travel experience

We exist to make the travel experience better and cheaper for our members. It's no small goal, but it's one that we're passionate about. That's because we may be travel industry insiders, but we're also travelers ourselves. So we know what a drag it can be finding and booking flights.

FlyinAway puts you in control of your travel plans. We flip the industry model on its head, by putting high demand routes up for bid. This way you can get great deals on tickets to places you actually want to fly. And you get to pick the dates you travel—no more sales to destinations no one wants to visit on days when no one can fly.

Our members collaboratively choose where they want to fly, when, and at what price, giving them full control over their travel plans.

We're not beholden to airline sales. In fact, we operate independently from the airlines and the big online travel agencies (OTAs). Instead, we're entirely focused on what our members want. That's why members pick which routes go on sale. And members bid the prices that work best for them. If you're ready to embrace the power, give us a try today.

Remember, at FlyinAway, members always get the best deal on their airfare....they choose it!

What would you do to get cheap airfare?


Cheap airfare -- it's more than saving money. It's a way of life.

Ever heard the story of Pudding Guy? No? If you've seen the movie Punch Drunk Love, the story of  Pudding Guy should ring a bell.

Way back in 1999 a civil engineer named David Phillips discovered a way to earn enough airline miles to insure himself cheap airfare for the rest of his life. How did David accomplish this feat?

While shopping with his wife, David noticed that Healthy Choice products was offering 500 to 1000 frequent flyer miles for every ten purchases of Healthy Choice products. David was looking for a way to get a cheap vacation for his family and started loading up on Healthy Choice products, but when he saw that Healthy Choice pudding was selling for 25 cents per carton David went into overdrive.

David bought every package of Healthy Choice Chocolate pudding for miles around him, spending $3000 on 12,150 cups of pudding! That was enough to earn him more than 1 million miles, elite status and discounts for life, but David had another problem. How to get the UPC labels off the packages to claim his reward?

David ended up donating the pudding to charities in exchange for them providing the manpower of delabeling all those cups of yummy pudding.

End result? Local charities had tons of pudding to give to folks in need and David got his vacation, cheap travel and a sort of fame as Pudding Guy.

Fortunately, not everyone has to go to the extremes David did to get cheap travel. FlyinAway provides discounted airfare via auctions, auctions that start up to 75% off the lowest published airfare and votes that determne which routes go to auction.

Why drive all over the country buying pudding cups when you can join FlyinAway to get great deals on great travel?
