• Elite ($199/year): Everything above + business/first class deals, peak season deals, mistake fares

Is Going Worth It?

Going's value depends entirely on your travel habits:

• Worth it if: You travel 3+ times/year internationally, have flexible dates, can book within 24-48 hours of an alert
• Not worth it if: You travel 1-2 times/year, need specific dates, or can't act fast on deals
• The math: If Going saves you $200 on one flight per year, the $49 Premium pays for itself. But you need to actually USE the alerts and book them.

Free Flight Deal Alternatives

• Google Flights price tracking (free): Set price alerts for specific routes — Google emails you when prices drop. This alone replaces 80% of Going's value.
• Hopper app (free): Price predictions and alerts — tells you whether to buy now or wait
• Secret Flying (free): Website with mistake fares and error fares posted daily
• The Flight Deal (free): Curated cheap flight deals, especially from US cities
• Airline fare sale pages (free): Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska — each has a dedicated sale page
• r/travel and r/shoestring (free): Reddit communities that share deals in real-time
• Skiplagged (free): Hidden city ticketing — finds routes cheaper than direct flights
