About Airfare Coach

Airfare Coach watches the flights for your kid’s club volleyball tournaments every day and texts you when it’s time to buy. It’s built by a Houston volleyball family that got tired of guessing. Pick your club and team, we load the schedule, and you book on the airline’s own site. We never touch your money.

Watch — two and a half minutes

Same flight. Different days. Wildly different prices.

Say you check four months out, when the schedule lands. That price is the best you'll get about one time in ten. Most trips go both lower and higher than that before you fly, and more often than not the price climbs before it drops.

The price on your screen isn't a floor or a ceiling. It's just where the line happened to be the day you checked.

What we actually promise

Nobody catches the bottom. The lowest price is only obvious once the plane has left.

So we watch your team's real tournament flights every day: your airport, your dates, the airlines and departure times you told us you'll actually fly. When the price is as good as we think it's going to get, we tell you to buy. When we think it's still coming down, we tell you to wait — and we keep watching.

We checked ourselves on 2,300 tournament trips that have already flown, where the best price is finally known. Four times out of five, our advice beat what you'd have paid booking on a random day. Counting the misses, that's roughly $310 back over a five-tournament season for a family of three.

Then you book straight on the airline's site. We never touch your money.

Why I built it

My daughters play club volleyball in Houston. Every season we’re flying somewhere — Phoenix, Indianapolis, Orlando, Minneapolis — and every year I lost hours on Google Flights second-guessing whether to book now or wait, and whether the $400 fare was really $400 once you added bags and seats for the whole family. I’m a software engineer. After enough wasted Saturdays I built the thing I wished existed: software that watches the specific flights you care about, every day, and tells you in plain English when to buy.

How it works

  1. Pick your club, school or team. The season's schedule loads on its own.
  2. See the true cost. Bags, seats and fees for everyone flying, so the number on screen is what the airline will charge.
  3. We watch every day. When the price is as good as it’s going to get, you get a text. Until then, we tell you to wait.
  4. You book direct. One tap to the airline’s own site with your flights loaded. No middleman, no upsells.
