Nice feature on top of a nice service. Key will be keeping it simple enough for masses to understand. Keep up the good work.

I love this idea. My wife is from Alaska so we fly there around once a year, and choosing when to buy a ticket and which one is a hassle.

Fare Guard sounds too much like stock option. I think it will be hard for consumer looking for air ticket to understand.

On the other hand, since it predicts the price will go down, that means customers can buy a ticket at a price lower than anybody else can offer on that day. Perhaps they can repackage themselves as a cheap ticket agent. That surely sells.

How would Fare Guard compensate customers if the price not only goes up but tickets are actually sold out?

[…] Travel fare prediction engine, Farecast is starting to offer price guarantees to travel shoppers. TechCruch explains: “the company is now offering to lock in ticket prices against an increase for one week for $1. When the testing period for the product, called Fare Guard, has ended the price will become $10.” This is a critical feature to give consumers confidence to use the product, which otherwise they might not have.

It is amazing that this seems to be a composite product formed from fusion of Insurance with Options. I wonder if the SEC will allow this in the long run.

Another farecast user after seeing it here this summer. It’s great not only for predictions, but for filtering for prices too. I find it better than other travel sites for filtering.

This is definitely a unique service being offered by Farecast. However, do you really think that the mainstream audience will get what Farecast is doing and switch from Expedia?

When I think of a new travel service, I need something that is going to make me switch from my existing service like Expedia to Farecast. I think the $10 figure is considered a tipping point in the travel industry for a consumer to switch from one airfare to another. But the challenge is that Farecast needs to get its message across in a simpler way that the mainstream consumers can quickly get.

Good luck!

This is fantastic! $10 is a small price to pay for that kind of assurance. I’ve also been using farecast since you first wrote about it and have found it to be a very well-designed, useful site.
