What We Do

Supporting over 2 million members, we send you affordable international & domestic US flight deals daily, so you can invite the unexpected and never overpay on flights again.

Unlike automated flight alerts and “deals” sent out by way of affiliate links, we leverage innovative software and our team of human flight experts to send out rigorously-vetted, high-quality deals that are worth our members’ time and money.

We’re so much more than crusaders for cheap flights, and our numbers prove it.

- 2 million: Members to date, growing every day
- 100%: Our average year-over-year revenue growth set to continue on this trend
- $100 million: Total airfare our deals have helped members save.
- $31,000: The largest member savings in one purchase occurred when our members bought 5 plane tickets to Bali when we sent out a mistake business class fare.
- 263,009: Miles, our most prolific member, has traveled with the 20 Going deals she has purchased.
- 30+: Number of proposals have happened on SCF trips… that we know of.
- Countless: Memories and stories created through our members’ trips.

We’re making travel dreams more attainable for everyone, one deal at a time. We're a 100% remote team with members all over the world. If “to travel is to live” resonates with you and your background seems like it could be a fit for one of our positions, we’d love to hear from you!

Why Work With Us

At Going, stuffy corporate jargon and the 9-5 rules aren’t for us. We’re not just a company that searches for flight deals, we’re travelers too, & we love sharing with our members and finding ways to connect because we’re always inviting the unexpected no matter when or where you work. We have big plans and our team is ready to grow!
