AirfareCoach is a personal flight booking assistant for club sports families. We load your tournament schedule, watch prices on your specific trips every day, and tell you when to buy — so you book at a great price on the right flight, the first time. You book directly with the airline. We never touch your money or your itinerary.
The flights from Houston to Phoenix for the 2026 Volleyball Festival Championships swung from $309 to $450 over six weeks — same flight, same dates, every airline. Most parents check casually and book what they see. They never know the swings happened.
This wasn't a fluke. Most of the trips we watched this season swung more than $50 a seat — and one in three swung more than $100. For a family of four, that's $400 riding on which day you happen to book.
Nobody catches that full swing. The lowest price is only obvious once the plane has left — anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing.
Here's what we do instead. 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.
So we checked ourselves on 2,000 tournament trips that have already flown, where the best price is finally known. Three times out of four, our advice beat what you'd have paid booking on a random day. Counting the misses, that's roughly $210 a season back for a family of four.
Then you book straight on the airline's site. We never touch your money.
My daughters play club volleyball for a large club in Houston. Every season we’re flying somewhere — Phoenix, Indianapolis, Orlando, Minneapolis — and every year I wasted hours on Google Flights second-guessing whether to book now or wait, whether the $400 fare was really $400 once you added bags and seats for the whole family, and whether the “cheap” option was actually a basic-economy trap that would cost more once we sat down at the airline’s checkout.
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.
Free to use — see prices and savings estimates on all your tournament trips. $49 per year unlocks daily price monitoring, text alerts when it’s time to buy, and end-of-season savings tracking.
