Altius Flightworks is a fare-intelligence service. We monitor a curated, published list of nonstop business-class routes and alert you the day a fare drops well below what that route itself normally costs — with the tier and the record behind it. WHAT WE MONITOR International and select US transcontinental nonstop routes from gateways in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and France. Every monitored route is rechecked twice a day at all three booking horizons — 30, 60 and 90 days out — whether or not anyone is watching it. Routes are validated for real business-class inventory before they join the set. Nonstop only, business class only, round-trip only. DEAL STRENGTH Each fare is scored against that route's own observed history at that booking horizon, never an industry average — a price that is remarkable on one corridor is ordinary on another. That history is recency-weighted: a fare from two months ago counts half as much as today's, and nothing is discarded. Depth maps to one of five tiers — DECENT 10-15% below what that route typically costs, STRONG 15-22%, IMPRESSIVE 22-30%, RARE 30-45%, LEGENDARY 45% or more. The tier is depth, and only depth. RARE does not mean we found something odd; it means the fare came in 30 to 45% below what that route typically costs, and LEGENDARY means it went deeper still. Concrete bands, not "good deal" and "great deal". ALERTS Push, email, or both — your choice. The email carries the airline, the fare, the tier, the flight time, your dates, how far below typical it landed, and a link to book. At most one summary per check, per channel — never a stream of per-route pings. THE ROUTE HISTORY Every fare we have observed is drawn on an interactive depth chart, per route, per booking horizon. Read it and you can see how often that route drops this far, which airlines deliver those drops, how long past drops lasted, and how far the fare swings between them. That is how you answer book now or wait from evidence. We do not forecast, and we will never tell you to hurry. WHAT WE ARE NOT Altius is not an airline, travel agency, charter or booking agent. We do not sell tickets and we do not mark up fares. Booking hands off to a partner site, and fares can change or sell out — always confirm the price and terms with the airline before you book. We find fares; we do not control seats, because airlines decide availability. No ads, no tracking, no data sold. Alerts, and nothing else. Start free and put a route on watch. altiusflightworks.ai
