About Squirrel!

Squirrel! finds mistake fares and rare flight deals from Canada and the US, and posts them the moment they appear.

What we do

Every 15 minutes, we look at fares travellers are finding from 21 airports in Canada and the US to everywhere they fly, and compare each one with what that route normally costs for that month. When a price is far below normal, we post it with the time we found it. Fares we can re-price live get a ✓ Live-checked tag, and fares that disappear are taken down.

Alongside the deals, we write practical guides: what to know at each departure airport, and how to fly with a dog or cat on popular routes.

Why "Squirrel!"

Because a good deal grabs your attention the way a squirrel grabs a dog's. The site is named for Oreo, our dog, who has never missed one.

How we make money

Squirrel! is free, with no account. Some links, such as Aviasales, Skyscanner and Booking.com, may earn us a commission when you book or search through them, at no extra cost to you. Commission never decides which deals we post: a deal goes up because its price is far below normal, whoever sells it. We don't sell tickets, and we never see your payment details.
