How It Works

How HolFly monitors prices

We check live fares on your behalf, build a price history, and surface deals using statistical analysis — so you know whether today's price is a real bargain or just average.

1
Live price checks
At each scheduled check time we query live fares across all your origin airports to your destination, filtered by your cabin, stops, and trip-length preferences. Each result is stored with a timestamp.
2
Price history & trend detection
Prices are tracked over time. We compare your last 7 days against the 7 days before that. If the average moves more than 5%, you'll see a rising or falling trend indicator on your dashboard. Longer history windows (Explorer/Pro) make this far more reliable.
3
Percentile deal scoring
Every deal is scored against the distribution of prices we've seen for that route. A price below the 25th percentile gets a Below average badge — meaning it's cheaper than 75% of all prices seen. Above the 75th percentile gets Above average. This beats a simple "up/down" signal because it tells you how good the deal is in absolute terms.
4
Seasonal peak detection
For popular routes (India, Gulf), we know historically when prices spike — Diwali, Christmas, summer school holidays. When your travel dates fall within 12 weeks of a known peak window, you'll see a banner prompting you to consider booking sooner.
Why price history length matters

You can see this week vs last week. Enough to spot a sudden spike, but you can't tell if today's price is seasonally high or genuinely cheap. A price of £380 might look normal when the week before was £390 — but zoom out and you'd see it's been £320 all month.

Explorer — 30 days

A full month of data powers the percentile badges — you can see where today's price sits in the distribution. You'll catch the mid-month dip that 7-day users miss entirely, and the trend indicator becomes statistically meaningful.

Pro — 90 days

Three months of data reveals seasonal patterns — the Diwali spike in October, the January lull, the summer school-holiday surge. The AI prediction model is trained on this full window, giving you a reliable forecast of whether prices will rise or fall in the next 2–4 weeks.

Why check frequency matters more than you'd think
Real scenario: A London–Chennai fare drops to £298 at 9 PM on a Thursday night for 4 hours. A Free user's single daily check (runs at 6 AM) never sees it. An Explorer user's 2 daily checks, with one scheduled for 10 PM — our latest available slot — catches it before the sale ends.

Airlines release flash sales, mistake fares, and last-minute inventory at irregular hours. A single check per day has roughly a 1-in-24 chance of hitting the right window. Two checks per day (Explorer) roughly doubles that to 1-in-12. Six checks (Pro) means you almost never miss a fare that lasts more than 4 hours.
