This is an excellent deal — 13% below your target and 22% below the 90-day average. TAP's Lisbon connection adds 2h but saves $200+ vs direct. Recommend booking within 48h — this fare typically lasts 2-3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does FlightKitten find cheap flights?

FlightKitten scans 220+ airlines twice daily (every 12 hours) looking for economy fare drops. When a fare on your watched route drops below your target price, we send you an instant email alert with all the details — fare, airline, dates, stops, and an AI briefing explaining the deal.

Is FlightKitten free?

FlightKitten offers a free 14-day trial with full access to all features. After the trial, you can choose from our Core or Explorer tiers based on how many routes you want to track.

What makes FlightKitten different from Google Flights?

Google Flights requires you to manually check prices. FlightKitten automates the process — set your target once, and we continuously monitor fares and alert you proactively. Our AI briefings also tell you why a deal is good and how quickly to act.

How many routes can I track?

The number of watchlists depends on your plan. Our free trial lets you track 3 routes, and paid plans scale from there. You can always add, remove, or modify your watchlists.
