Our Story

We built the flight search
we wished existed

TripHunt started when Harry Yule paid far too much for a flight and realised the market was full of noise, slow tools and fake urgency. TripHunt is the honest alternative: live prices, clear deal scoring and UK-first tools built for travellers who want to book smarter.

"I paid £600 for a flight I found for £140 three days later. That was the moment TripHunt was born."

Founder Story

From that one
overpriced flight
to your best deal

It was 2021. A trip to Lisbon. I booked what I thought was a fair price — £608 return from a UK airport. A colleague mentioned the same route three days later: she paid £142. Same dates. Same airline.

I spent that whole flight furious. Not at the airline — the prices were public. I was furious at myself for not knowing where to look, and furious at the tools that existed for making it so complicated to find out.

When I got back I started building TripHunt. The idea was simple: pull live prices, score every deal honestly, and surface the genuinely exceptional ones before they disappear — especially error fares, which airlines fix within hours.

We don't inflate "savings" against fake RRPs. We don't bury the best deals behind sign-up walls. We built the thing we actually needed: a straight-talking flight tool that finds real deals, fast.

Today TripHunt focuses on reliable UK route coverage, cleaner booking journeys and transparent deal scoring. It is early, but the mission is clear: help travellers understand when a fare is genuinely good — and act before it disappears.

We make money when you book via our affiliate links — at absolutely no extra cost to you. That alignment matters: we only win if you get a great deal.

How TripHunt Works

Live prices. Real deals. Zero faff.

We connect directly to Google Flights via SerpAPI, score every fare with our deal engine, and surface only the ones worth your attention.

01
🔍
Live price pull
Every search triggers a live query to Google Flights via SerpAPI. Prices are real and current — not cached from yesterday.
02
🧠
Deal scoring
Our deal engine scores every fare against a 90-day price history. Exceptional, Great, Good — or just normal. No inflated savings.
03
Error fare alerts
Pricing mistakes disappear within hours. Our system flags them immediately so you can book before the airline corrects it.
04
Direct booking
We send you straight to Aviasales or the airline to complete your booking. No middleman markup. No hidden fees. Your price is your price.
What we stand for

Built on principles,
not dark patterns

Honest deal scoring
We compare every fare to real historical prices — not invented RRPs. If a deal isn't exceptional, we say so. No fake 80% savings badges.
Speed above all
Error fares vanish in hours. Our pipeline fetches, scores, and surfaces deals the moment they appear — before anyone else shows them to you.
🔓
No gatekeeping
Our best deals are on the homepage. No premium tier required. No subscription to see the cheapest fares. Every user gets the same information.
💷
Transparent commissions
We earn affiliate fees when you book. We say so clearly. This never affects the prices you see or the deals we surface — your price is always the same.
🇬🇧
Built for the UK
All 30+ major UK airports. Prices in GBP. Baggage rules explained. We know the Ryanair small print so you don't have to learn it at the gate.
📵
No fake urgency
We don't show "17 people viewing this flight" counters. If a deal is disappearing fast, we'll tell you why — with evidence, not manufactured FOMO.
📋 How TripHunt makes money — full transparency

TripHunt earns affiliate commissions from Aviasales, hotel partners, insurance providers, and activity platforms (like Klook) when you make a booking via our links. This is how we fund the site and keep it free to use.

This commission never increases the price you pay. The fare you see on TripHunt is the fare you pay. We have no commercial agreements that cause us to rank one airline above another based on commission rates.

Our deal scoring is independent. The Deal Score (0–100) is calculated purely from price history and route data. A high-commission partner with a poor deal gets a low score. A low-commission airline with a remarkable fare gets a high score.

We do not accept payment for editorial placement, sponsored deals, or to suppress competitor routes. Questions? Email hello@triphunt.org.
