what we keep, and why
Privacy
We keep as little as we can and say plainly what that is. This site has no passwords. Nothing here is sold, there is no advertising, and nothing about you goes anywhere it does not need to. What we do keep is below, and one button at the end wipes all of it.
Who runs this
This site is run by a2bflight, who is responsible for everything on this page. The postal address and email are on the imprint page; to ask what we hold about you, use the contact form.
Cookies
Like every site, we use a few cookies. They remember that it is you between visits — so your recent searches, saved trips, ideas and price alerts are there when you come back — keep you signed in when you choose to sign in, and let us see how the site is used. None of them holds your name, email or address, and none is shared with anyone. The usage count is the one part you can switch off. In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland — and wherever we cannot tell where you are — it runs only after you choose Accept all on the bar. Everywhere else it runs from your first page, and continuing to browse or opening a fare counts as accepting. Essential only turns it off wherever you are, at once — on the bar, or with the two buttons below whenever you change your mind. Which of these applies comes from your connection's rough location, read before you choose anything, because the site needs it to work — it is not stored. You can also clear our cookies in your browser at any time, and "Forget this browser" below wipes what we hold along with them.
Your location
On the front page we may use your rough location — the area your connection appears to come from — to suggest the airports near you. It is a guess, you can correct it with one click, and we do not store it: once you search from somewhere or pick a home airport, that is what we remember instead.
Signing in
You never have to sign in. If you want what you saved to follow you to another device, sign in with Google, with Apple, or with a one-time code sent to your email — there is no password to make or remember. The provider tells us who you are and your email address, nothing more; we never see your password and hold no key to your account there. Apple may give us a private relay address instead of your own; that is where our mail goes. The moment you sign in, everything this browser had saved is filed under the account, and a route saved twice keeps the older copy. Sign out or delete your account on the account page; deleting it removes your searches, saved trips and alerts at once, and in a crew plan other people are on, your seat is emptied and the plan stays theirs.
Your searches
Every search you run is kept for you — the last fifty, on the front page and under Recent — so you can pick up where you left off, and each one can be deleted there. Separately, we keep a tally of what is searched overall — which routes, which months, how many results — with no name attached, for about three months, which is what keeps the cheapest-routes pages honest. When you ask the trip assistant, your question, your recent searches, watches and trip budgets on this site are sent to an AI model provider to prepare the answer — never with your name or email — and one tick beside the question box leaves your searches out. If you connect this site to your own AI assistant, it asks us only for routes, dates and prices: we receive no name, account or conversation, and keep nothing about you from it.
Alerts, plans and your email
A price alert — on fixed dates, or a flexible-dates alert across a window of months — can carry an email address. The first time you enter one we send a single message asking you to confirm it, and nothing else goes to that address until you do. You choose the cadence, daily or weekly, and you never get more than one message a day from us. Every message has an unsubscribe link that works without signing in, and the address goes when your alerts go. A crew plan keeps the names its organiser typed and each member's email, used for that plan's updates and nothing else; a plan's share link works for whoever holds it, until the organiser revokes it.
Messages you send
If you write to us through the contact form, we keep your name, your email, your message and, if you gave one, your phone number — so we can answer you, and for nothing else.
Keeping the site running
To keep search fast for everyone we briefly count requests per connection; that count is not stored and is not a record about you. Where a deployment turns it on, a privacy-friendly counter tells us which pages get used — no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no ad networks. While it runs, it keeps a random number in your browser so a second visit is not counted as a new visitor; the number says nothing about who you are. In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it counts you only after "Accept all"; elsewhere it counts from your first page, and "Essential only" — on the cookie bar or under Cookies above — turns it off, at once, wherever you are, and removes that number, as "Forget this browser" does.
How long we keep it
If a browser does not come back for thirty days, we delete what it saved — searches, saved trips, alerts, and any plan nobody else joined; a seat in a plan other people are on is emptied and the plan stays theirs. If you have set an alert, saved a plan or opened a mail from us, we keep things for a year from your last visit instead. Backups roll over on their own within a month. "Forget this browser" does all of it right now.
When you leave to book
A click on a fare takes you to the seller's site to book. From there the seller's own privacy policy applies — we never see your card, your booking or your details on their side. That click may earn this site a commission from the seller; the price you see is the seller's own and does not change for it (terms, how we rank). Our mail leaves through our own mail service, and no mailing platform beyond it holds your address.
