About Flyspy

Hi. I'm Robert Metcalf, the founder of Flyspy. Years ago I flew from Minneapolis to Williamsport, PA to visit my brother. It took me 8+ hours to search for flights and figure out various travel dates and airport combinations. I thought...

"Why are travel sites so difficult to use (and understand), when I can find anything on Amazon or Google in a few seconds?"

I wanted to see the big picture, I wanted to know all of my options at once. My frustration with the whole process of understanding flights and airfares led me on a seven-year journey to create Flyspy.

If you would like to know why this took so long and why it's so difficult, read the blog.

Flyspy isn't just about finding cheap airline tickets, which you can easily do, it's about understanding the "marketplace for airfares" so you can make an informed decision.

Flyspy lifts the veil on the murky world of airfares.

What is Flyspy

Flyspy is a consumer-centric airfare search engine that offers travelers:

  • an at-a-glance view of the market
  • multiple search and decision-making options
  • the ability to compare airfares and flights based on dates and trip options
  • high market transparency and high customer confidence

which results in a dramatic reduction in search time and the elimination of trial-and-error searching.

Flyspy differs from all other travel sites and online travel agencies by displaying 60 days of travel options in a visual format. Flyspy helps the consumer understand the marketplace for airfares.

When the traveler has flexible travel dates, Flyspy is great at finding low-cost flights that meet the traveler's needs. We are not about finding cheap flights – we are about finding the cheapest fare for the flights you want.

Flyspy also eliminates buyer's remorse (I could have found a better flight/fare if I only had another 20 minutes) because for the first time you can see every option and know you didn't miss anything.

Most consumers don't know when to stop looking for the right fare or departure/return date combination because they don't understand the marketplace. With Flyspy, it is basically one search and you're done.
