THE MACHINE

How Saqr
works.

No one sits here posting deals. The whole thing runs itself — and the only reason it knows a price is good is that it has been writing every price down for a year.

01

Keeps a diary

Twelve months of what every route normally costs, month by month, for each of the three UAE airports. This is the part nobody else has, and everything else depends on it.

02

Walks his rounds

The busiest 24 routes are checked every 30 minutes. Another 22 every two hours. The long-haul tail once a day. Around the clock, every day.

03

Bins most of it

Bad layovers, day-long journeys, prices so low they are a data error, anything you have already been sent. Roughly forty-six candidates die for every one that survives.

04

Checks it is still there

Re-queries the exact fare seconds before it reaches you. If it died four minutes ago, you never hear about it at all.

THE TEST

What has to be true before you get told

A fare has to pass every one of these. Not most of them — all of them.

  • At least 30% below that route's twelve-month median for that travel month
  • In the bottom 10% of everything we have ever recorded on it
  • Under a hard price ceiling for its distance band
  • Non-stop, or one stop with 90+ minutes to connect
  • Total journey time within the cap for that band
  • Not a repeat of something sent in the last 14 days
  • Still bookable when re-checked, seconds before sending

Why you will not
get spammed.

Only your routes

You tell us which airports you will fly from and where you would actually go. A deal only reaches you if it matches. We might publish twenty in a week and send you three.

Five a week, hard cap

If more than five match, only the deepest discounts are sent. The rest stay on the site. You can also set it to alert you only above 50% off.

Nothing after 11pm

Anything found between 11pm and 7am waits until morning, and gets re-verified before it goes out. Your phone stays quiet.

BOOK IT
WHEREVER
YOU LIKE
BOOKING

We find the fare. You book it wherever you trust.

Safr is not a travel agency. We do not sell tickets, take your payment, or sit between you and the airline. When you open a deal you get the route, the dates, the flight numbers and a link — you book direct with the airline, or through whichever site you already use.

If you book through our link, we sometimes earn a small commission from that airline or booking site. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes which deals we send you or the order we show them in. Full disclosure here.
