About FareCompare.com

In 2004, software innovators, Rick Seaney and Graeme Wallace (with a reputation of being the 'go to' providers of technology to track competing airline prices for the industry) established FareCompare LP. The two launched Farecompare.com, a consumer airfare research website in March of 2006. The underlying premise of Farecompare.com: provide consumers access to new generation, proprietary software that was formerly only available to airline industry insiders and analysts. This cutting edge software enables Farecompare.com to rapidly convert data feeds directly from the airlines, and then mine tens of millions of fares up to 8 times a day for the best deals. Only Farecompare.com is able to instantaneously deliver this newest airfare information directly to the consumers (via free email alerts and web posting), up to six hours before other sites, including the airlines themselves. Farecompare users enjoy being the first in line to purchase these discounted seats (the cheapest airline tickets are limited to only 10% or so of the available seating on a given aircraft and sell quickly).
