STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Frequently asked
questions.

Are you a travel agency or a booking agent?

Neither. We do not sell tickets, hold your money, or touch your booking. We find the fare, show you the evidence it is genuinely cheap, and send you to book wherever you already trust. Your contract is with the airline or booking site, not with us.

Which airports does Safr cover?

All three — Dubai (DXB), Sharjah (SHJ) and Abu Dhabi (AUH). You choose which ones you are willing to fly from and we only alert you on those. Sharjah and Abu Dhabi produce a disproportionate share of the best fares thanks to Air Arabia and Wizz, so most members leave all three switched on.

How do you know a price is actually good?

Because we have recorded that route's price every day for a year. To qualify, a fare must be at least 30% below what that specific route normally costs in that specific travel month, and sit in the bottom 10% of everything we have ever seen on it. Both conditions, not either.

Can I search for specific dates?

No, and that is deliberate. These fares exist on the dates they exist on. If we let you filter to your ideal week you would almost always end up with nothing, which helps neither of us.

What if there is no deal to where I want to go?

You will still get something useful — what that route normally costs, the cheapest we have ever recorded, and the months it usually drops. You can then ask us to watch it, and we will tell you the moment it moves.

Will you spam me?

You tell us which airports you fly from and which regions you would actually go to. You only hear about deals matching that. Five alerts a week maximum, nothing between 11pm and 7am, and you can set it to only ping you above 50% off. Unsubscribe is one click.

What happens if the price is gone when I click?

Usually it will not be — we re-check the fare seconds before sending and every 30 minutes afterwards. When one dies, the card turns grey and says so. Occasionally a fare vanishes in the minutes between our check and your click; airlines change prices constantly and we cannot hold a seat for you.

Do you plan the whole trip — hotels, visas, itineraries?

No. We find flights. On each deal page we will show you hotels for those dates and a few useful extras, but we do not build itineraries, arrange visas, or act as a tour operator.

Why is it invite only?

Two reasons. Deals are finite — if a thousand people book the same fare, it disappears faster. And a small, engaged group tells us far more about which deals are actually good than a large indifferent one. Fifty waitlist places open every week.

Is it free? Will it stay free?

It is free right now, and everyone who joins during the invite phase keeps free access permanently. We may add a paid tier later for instant alerts and custom route watching. If that happens, we will announce it well before, not after.

How do you make money?

When you book through one of our links, the airline or booking site sometimes pays us a small commission. You pay exactly the same price. We take no payment from any airline to feature or rank a fare. Full disclosure here.

Who is Saqr?

The falcon. He is the friendly face of a system that reads fares on 75 routes, compares each one against a year of that route's own price history, and bins roughly forty-six candidates for every one it keeps.

How do I delete my data?

Email us with the subject "Data request" and we will delete everything we hold on you within 30 days. You do not have to give a reason. See the privacy policy for what we store and why.
