CheapFlightsFares is a U.S.-based online travel agency (OTA) founded in 2014 by Tanya Chadha. The company built its business around a specific promise. Travelers should be able to find an affordable fare without giving up real customer service or a company they can trust.
That combination, lower prices backed by actual support, has stayed at the center of CheapFlightsFares’ identity as it has grown into a broader trip-planning service over the past decade.
CheapFlightsFares does two related jobs in the travel industry. It helps travelers book flights, hotels, cars, and cruises at a lower cost, and it helps them navigate the fine print once they’ve already booked, things like cancellation rules, baggage fees, and fare classes.
The company operates under the tagline “Making Travel Easy,” and draws a clear line between itself and price-comparison tools that stop being useful the moment a booking is confirmed.
As a full-service agency, CheapFlightsFares issues bookings directly rather than redirecting travelers to another site to pay, and it staffs live agents around the clock.
That support structure is central to the company’s identity, not an add-on layered onto a low fare. CheapFlightsFares is not affiliated with any airline it sells tickets for.
Business Model and Market Niche
CheapFlightsFares operates as a full-service OTA rather than a metasearch or price-comparison engine. Metasearch platforms such as Skyscanner and Google Flights compare fares across multiple sites but don’t process the booking or manage it afterward.
CheapFlightsFares keeps the relationship with the traveler intact from search to after-the-trip support, closer to CheapOair or Priceline than to a comparison tool.
That distinction matters to travelers weighing whether a lesser-known booking site is worth trusting with payment details. CheapFlightsFares publishes customer reviews directly on its site and has operated continuously since 2014 rather than surfacing as a newly registered storefront.
The company’s stated position is that quoted fares are subject to change until a ticket is issued, a standard disclosure across the OTA industry meant to set expectations rather than promise a locked price at every step.
The U.S. online travel agency sector has grown alongside this model. Travel agency revenue in the United States reached an estimated $47.2 billion in 2026, part of a multi-year increase as more travel bookings move online.
Within that growth, CheapFlightsFares offers travelers a lower fare along with dedicated customer support, rather than the lowest possible price at the cost of service.
Services Offered
CheapFlightsFares’ core offering is flight booking, supported by a broader set of travel services. Travelers can book through CheapFlightsFares:
- Flights, on domestic and international routes
- Hotels, ranging from budget properties to full-service chains
- Car rentals
- Cruises, either bundled with flights or booked separately
Fares, Discounts, and Booking Options
CheapFlightsFares positions itself around finding a lower fare rather than matching a fixed list price, using competitive pricing and periodic deals across its network of domestic and international routes.
Special promotions and fare drops are a regular part of how the site markets flights, particularly around high-demand routes and travel periods.
Once a fare is selected, travelers can customize the booking with a range of add-ons rather than accepting a one-size-fits-all ticket. Seat selection lets travelers choose where they sit instead of leaving it to random assignment, and checked or carry-on baggage can be added and priced separately from the base fare.
Travel insurance is available for trips where cancellation or disruption is a real risk. A FlexPay option lets travelers reserve a fare and spread the cost over time instead of paying the full amount upfront.
Airline and Destination Coverage
CheapFlightsFares’ flight inventory spans a wide range of domestic and international carriers. United Airlines, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Lufthansa, and British Airways are among the airlines most frequently booked through the site, covering both major U.S. routes and long-haul service to Europe, alongside many other carriers in its wider network.
On the destination side, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, New York, and Honolulu rank among the most booked domestic destinations, with London as a leading international one.
Fares to Las Vegas and New York are marketed with an emphasis on last-minute availability, alongside the advance-booking and seasonal fares available across the rest of the network.
This combination serves general travelers, students and seniors booking on a budget, business travelers seeking premium options, and last-minute or budget-conscious flyers.
