About Unfare
Unfare, as in un-fair: prices this good shouldn’t really exist. We find the ones that do — departing JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia — and publish only the shortlist.
How we find deals
Our own software watches fares out of the three NYC airports continuously and records what routes actually cost over time. When a fare drops far below what we’ve historically observed on that exact route, it surfaces for review. A human looks at every single deal before it’s published — the software finds candidates; it doesn’t publish anything on its own.
What the verdicts mean
Every deal carries a rating computed from that route’s own price history — never assigned by feel:
- Fair — around the typical price. Listed only when timing or availability makes it interesting.
- Good — meaningfully below typical.
- Steal — in the cheapest quarter of everything we’ve observed on the route.
- UNFARE — the cheapest ~5% we’ve ever seen. Rare by design. When you see it, move.
The crossed-out “typical” price next to each fare comes from the same history. If we don’t have enough data on a route to say something honestly, we don’t say it.
Verification
Deals are re-checked before publishing, and each page shows when its fare was last confirmed. Fares change by the hour; if a deal has died since our last check, the page says so rather than pretending.
How we make money
Some booking links are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you book through them. That never affects the price you pay, and it never affects which deals we pick — the verdict math doesn’t know what an affiliate is. Details in ouraffiliate disclosure.
