How SplitWing works
Airlines price the same seat differently depending on where, when and how you buy it. SplitWing checks those differences for you in one scan.
Three steps
- 1Enter your trip
Airports, dates, cabin and number of travelers. No account is needed.
- 2We run seven checks
The AeroQuant™ engine compares your standard fare against routing, currency, timing and fare-rule alternatives.
- 3See the savings
You get the estimated retail price, the lowest alternative, and the strategy that gets you there.
The seven vectors
AHidden Route Scanner
Compares your nonstop to split tickets through a nearby hub, nearby airports, and hidden-city tariffs, and ranks them by price and risk.
BPrice Manipulation Shield
Explains how repeat searches, device signals and browsing time can raise fares, and gives a clean-search checklist.
CGeo-Pricing Bypass
Compares the same flight across point-of-sale markets and currencies and shows the estimated spread.
DTiming Sweet Spot
Suggests the booking window and days of the week when discounted fare buckets tend to be open.
EFare Rule Exploiter
Points to fare classes and rules (minimum stay, stopovers) that can lower the price.
FAirline vs OTA Matrix
Compares the total cost of booking direct with the cost through online travel agencies.
GStealth Price Watch
Watches a route on our servers and alerts you when the fare reaches a target price.
Where the numbers come from
When a live flight-data provider is connected, the retail fare comes from real search results and is labeled Live on the scan page. Otherwise the fare is a modeled estimate based on distance, cabin and typical demand, labeled Modeled data. In both cases the alternatives (other markets, split tickets, hidden-city fares) are estimates produced by our engine, not quotes. Always confirm the final price on the airline's or partner's site before you pay.
What's free and what's paid
- Free: the scan, your estimated savings, the price-manipulation shield and the timing advice.
- $9 one-time route unlock: the exact coordinates for one scan, which means the winning point of sale and currency, the split-hub and hidden-city airports, the fare rules, the booking matrix and direct booking links.
- $19/month Pro Pass: unlocks every scan and adds the 24/7 Stealth Price Watcher.
What SplitWing is not
- We do not sell tickets or act as a travel agency. You book with the airline or a booking partner.
- We do not guarantee a price. Fares change, and savings are estimates.
- Some strategies (self-transfer tickets, hidden-city ticketing, buying in another country's market) can be restricted by airline terms or leave you unprotected if a connection is missed. We label the risk on each option, and the decision is yours.
