How we source prices
Every fare shown on FareLume comes from a live search run at the moment you press search. We do not keep a price database, we do not cache old fares, and we never estimate a number to fill a gap in the results.
Where the data comes from
When you run a comparison, our server sends your route, dates, passenger count, market and currency to a third-party flight data provider, which returns live Google Flights results. We read those results, sort them by lowest total price and show them to you. Your search terms are sent to that provider; your name, email and payment details are not.
What the price includes
- The total price returned by the provider for the number of adults you entered.
- The currency you selected, shown in the format used by your chosen market.
- It may not include optional extras such as checked baggage, seat selection or payment surcharges. Always confirm the final amount on the provider's own checkout.
Why prices change
Airlines re-price seats continuously as availability changes. A fare you saw minutes ago can be higher, lower or gone. FareLume shows what was available at the moment of your search and makes no promise that it will still be there when you click through.
Booking links
A “View deal” button appears only when the provider returns a genuine booking link for that result. If no link is returned, we show none rather than sending you to a generic search page.
Limits and honesty
- No coverage is complete: some airlines do not distribute fares to comparison partners.
- Results can be temporarily unavailable if the provider is down; we show an error rather than stale data.
- Example routes shown on our homepage are illustrative destinations, never priced.
