Fare X-ray

Every fare rule in plain English, before you pay for it

Fare X-ray: a magnifying glass over a boarding pass showing the breakdown of price — fare, taxes and agency fees

The cheapest fare on screen is almost never the cheapest by the end of the trip: no baggage, no rebooking, no refund. The difference shows up later, when it's too late to pick another option.

Fare X-ray translates fare rules — usually written in codes and in English — into a clear comparison of baggage, change penalty, refund and seat selection before you issue the ticket.

Benefits

What this feature delivers in practice

Real cost, not sticker cost

The platform adds baggage and flexibility to the fare, revealing which option is actually cheaper for that trip.

Rules in plain language

No more fare codes: every rule becomes a clear sentence in plain English.

Less rework for finance

Penalties known in advance stop turning into unplanned extra expenses on the budget.

Decisions consistent with policy

Trips with unstable dates may require a flexible fare by policy — the rule is applied right in the search.

A promotional fare with no baggage and no flexibility usually ends up costing 30% to 60% more once baggage is bought at the airport and the date changes just once.

Testimonial transcript

Fare transparency cut the average ticket by 11%

  1. 0:00InterviewerWhat was it like before the feature?
  2. 0:04Eduardo LinsScattered air purchases with no fair-price benchmark per route.
  3. 0:14InterviewerWhat changed in your operation?
  4. 0:18Eduardo LinsFare X-ray shown at search time, with route median and 90-day price history.
  5. 0:27Eduardo LinsThe comparison shows up before checkout. It became impossible to justify a fare 40% above the median — and that alone changed the whole team's behavior.
  6. 0:38InterviewerWhat were the results in numbers?
  7. 0:42Eduardo LinsIn numbers: -11% in average air ticket price; $486K in annualized savings; 78% of purchases within the recommended range. (2 quarters.)
  8. 0:52InterviewerWould you recommend it to another company?
  9. 0:55Eduardo LinsAbsolutely. I couldn't go back to operating without Fare X-ray — the team would notice the difference in the first week.
