Prompt service and timely reporting of deals.

Customer service was excellent - they responded very quickly and were very helpful in fixing my problem.

I've been a subscriber for many years now, and am very happy with the unique service they provide. You pay a relatively small annual subscription fee, and you get all sorts of emails with fantastic international and domestic flight deals. You don't book through Going (formerly Scott's Cheap flights) - you just take the info they give you, go to Google Flights, and book from there. We've traveled to places we never dreamed of visiting all because of these deals.

I wrote about using miles to buy a ticket and wanted to know if a miles upgrade is possible on flights where miles business class tickets were refused initially. The answer i got was fuzzy and not clear simply because the answer was not known.

I love flights.in peru on christmas night se were on bus and4hours Time travelling to slum s hotell bus got broken.i stopped a lorry and we travelled hours for christmas dinner

Great deals. Just being able to see what the deals are and the information about different countries and cities is a plus. Always check Going when I'm looking at a place I will be traveling to so I can see if I can find a deal.

We have taken advantage of the great flight deal notifications from Going.com several times in our trip planning and saved money that we can use towards explorations in our destination

Concise, frequent, deals I don’t find elsewhere. All it took was using one deal and wow I saved a bunch of money and paid for the subscription 10x

Going has great products and provides customers with fast, efficient and professional customer service. A+++++

I love Going!
Everyone is so positive and helpful

Going somewhere I’ve never gone before!!! I’ve been traveling for decades now and going west my whistle wanting to go on every single published fare. Always loving and inspiring tidbits on locations and destinations.

My customer service email contact answered my question completely with great detail, appreciated.

I dont hate the site or the app, but it is completely useless to me. I signed up for a discounted premium memebership by being a teacher about 3 months ago and there has yet to be a deal that's even remotely feasible for me within my travel parameters. Half the time I get an alert, click on it and it said Oops something went wrong or just doesn't go anywhere. When I do click on the deal it feeds me into Google flights and it's some random date in February or mid November. I can search Google flights for free.

Would this be a great site for a someone who can travel at any random time? Yes, im sure. However, if you need to fly out of anything but a major airport (think chicago, jfk, lax) and have a select window of dates for travel, you are never going to get a deal.

I understand that going.com cannot control when, where with whom they can find a discount but i feel misled. I'm glad I tried so now I know and I can also tell friends and family not to waste their time and money. I've set it to not renew at the end of my 1 yr membership.

Great tips/advice to help me find great fares to my destination a half world way during the holiday season.

I love the reminders for my destinations and starting points.

Found a great weekend city visit to PDX that I will be going soon.

But I wish the prices would be compared not at the bare bones, no carry on, but at the next level up. (select seat/one carry on or with better travel times than 4:40 am arriving 11:55....PM) Just a thought

An update for a post-trip review!

The flight found by Going was not the exact flight I ended up buying on United, but it worked out, and I love walking airports on layovers so all good - Boy there is a lot of construction at ABQ, DEN, PDX and SFO - must be the year!
For those who like airports not just for the flight, the changes at PDX are beautiful, a lot of natural wood, improved TSA, not as Closter phobic and even an indoor forest! (worth seeing if you stop over).

Arrived in PDX and made the best of the weekend visit - McMenamins Kennedy School Hotel is a blast, and the boiler-room bar in the basement is worth visiting - be sure to buy a McMenamins Passport for added adventure! An afternoon of music (and passport stamps to get a free shirt) at the McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, then back to downtown to McMenamins Crystal Hotel for the second night, walking to several other McMenamin breweries and pub in the local area (and yes, more passport stamps earning a free Capt. Neon burger and tots!), and then by chance walking by the PDX area ice cream company Salt and Straw. - Did you know they make dairy-free ice cream for your Dog?!

Monday morning, it was back to PDX airport and then a stopover at SFO (come on! No Anchor Steam beer anymore - sad. and couldn't find SFO sourdough bread to torment seatmates on the next flight leg. And when has a pint of beer cost $20! - ouch!)

Conclutions. A quick weekend doesn't translate to a "cheap" weekend, but it was fun and I'd say worth it. Lyft/Uber around PDX cost more than the flight, Hotel rooms in PDX are getting up there in price, but you find some of the best of Oregon at PDX airport (breweries, wineries, distilleries, coffees and Tillamook cheese!) - Maybe just stay at the airport for a day!

Lastly a note to United. I understand that the "personal item only" airfares are meant to be "uncomfortable". I get it. But, not allowing check-in without agreeing to charge my credit card, so if the gate person finds your personal item too large, you are charged automatically..... It is open to potential abuse (size is subjective) and a bit humiliating as well- "yep you are a cheap person".
NOT a fan.... Call me out at the gate if needed, and what about those folks who only use debit or gift cards????

In conclusion, to quote Nike (also from PDX) - PDX...Just Do It!
Happy Adventures!

I signed up for Going recently and it's been great. I haven't booked anything based on their recommendations, but I will.

The flight deals I've seen so far have been much better than anything I've been able to find on my own, and I'm learning a lot about credit card miles and points

I was impressed with all the options available for you to try out for your next trip

I was able to book a flight to Okinawa due to the watch/alert feature. This is a bucket list destination so I was very happy for the alert plus I have booked prior flights at great prices due to my membership. Highly recommend.

Great Site for travel savings

Going introduced me to Google Flights, which is the best search engine for flights I've used (better than Kayak, which had been my go-to). I get daily emails of sales, and I've booked a couple flights so far based solely on the alerts I've gotten from Going. I appreciate that there is an army of people looking for great deals so that I don't have to.
