Reply from Jack's Flight ClubJul 29, 2025
Hi, Jane. Yes, you're absolutely right that we send members links to places like Google Flights or Skyscanner to actually buy the flights that we find and that's because we don't sell tickets (or even earn any commission on tickets), so we have to send people to the places they can purchase those flights.
The Jack's Flight Club service is built to constantly scour the internet and figure out IF a flight price is any good and ONLY then rapidly alert our members that there's an unexpectedly great fare available.
So of course, at that point we send out the location of how and where to buy that flight (including if necessary, the particular workarounds or hacks to get the price we've found).
If you're locked into specific times/dates or routes, in those cases Jack's service might not be for you, so running a general search on Google Flights or Trip.com is good advice and a decent way to get a sense of if you have to take particular dates, what are the best value options.
Jack's is built for travellers with a little flexibility who enjoy the inspiration and thrill of a new destination or when a bonkers price to somewhere they've been meaning to go drops into their inbox.
We use a combination of bots, machine learning, data analysis and expert human curation to scan millions of flight routes a week. Our team of expert Flight Finders and travellers whittles that down to only the most worthy fares with savings well under what the public pays. Over 90% of flights get discarded as unworthy and only around 1 in 5,000 make the grade to qualify as an alert, packaged with extra inspiration and expert tips on the destination.
Essentially, our experienced flight hunters spend hundreds of hours a week sifting and researching so you don't have to and alert you when you should go looking on those sites so you can take advantage of lower than usual prices at the right time.
Hope that clears things up! We're gutted that you've given us a 1 star for basically doing what we set out to do, so we'll try harder to improve our sign up pages and new joiner messages to make things clearer.
