We built a flight deal service for Utah, and only Utah.

Why Utah-only?

Nationwide flight-deal services like Going (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights), Thrifty Traveler, and Dollar Flight Club cover the entire United States. That sounds great until you live in Salt Lake City and realize most of their best alerts depart from JFK, LAX, or ORD. The closest regional alternative, Flights From Home, is a well-respected Utah business but the tier that actually includes mistake-fare alerts (FFH Premium+) is $129 a year, and their $49 entry tier is single-airport only.

Deal Wings only scans SLC and PVU, so every alert is one you can actually book without a positioning flight, and Pro is $39.99 a year. That's roughly a third of the comparable tier at every direct competitor in the category, and the free tier sends unlimited alerts to one chosen destination, forever.

How it works

Our backend scans every route out of SLC and PVU continuously across multiple public pricing sources, no paid APIs. Every observation is compared to a long-running per-route, per-cabin, per-airline price baseline. A fare only becomes a deal if it passes four independent quality gates: an absolute price floor (so we never surface impossible $72 round-trips to Hawaii), an absolute price ceiling (a $1,200 fare can never be a “deal” regardless of percentage off), a statistical anomaly check against the route's history, and a final read-path check that re-validates every deal before email delivery. The four tiers, unicorn fare (60%+ off), insane (40%+ off), great (25%+ off), good (15%+ off), are defined as standing thresholds, not editor opinions.

Who we are

Deal Wings LLCis a Utah limited liability company headquartered in Saratoga Springs, Utah. We're a small, independent team with no investors, no VC, no upsells beyond a single $39.99 / year Pro tier. The service is offered solely to U.S. residents who are 18 or older. Questions, press, or partnership inquiries: hello@dealwings.co.

What we don't do

• We are not a travel agency, ticket reseller, or booking platform. We surface deals; you book directly with the airline or your preferred travel site.
• We don't use paid flight APIs or proprietary data feeds. Every fare we surface is from public, observable sources.
• We don't cover non-Utah origins. If you live in Las Vegas or Denver, a nationwide service will serve you better.
• We don't send SMS or push notifications today. Alerts are email-only.
