Black List Travel

A members-only flight deal app that watches fares around the clock and flags the ones that are genuinely below normal, from economy to business class.

The challenge

Great fares, including mistake fares, can disappear within hours. Black List Tours wanted a way to put those deals in front of its travelers first, without making them dig through deal sites or airline sales every day.

What we built

  1. 24/7 fare monitoring
    Members pick their home airports and the app scans routes around the clock.
  2. “Normal” price learning
    It learns what each route usually costs and only flags fares well below it.
  3. Deal dashboard
    Filter by airport, trip length, cabin and region, with a weekly price history on every deal.
  4. Points deals and alerts
    Award-seat sales and transfer bonuses, plus instant alerts and an email digest.
  5. Elite concierge
    Members can hand the trip to a Black List Tours planner to build stays, transfers and excursions.

Brand and social media

Market★TING developed the Black List Travel brand and manages social media for the company. Because one team handles the brand, the social channels and the app, the look and voice stay consistent everywhere travelers find Black List Travel.
