Dollar Flight Club sends flight deals from your home airport by email and, on its paid plan, by text. The free Basic plan includes a daily travel newsletter with domestic economy deals, 1 to 3 a week, from one departure airport. Premium+, at $99 a year, adds international deals, premium and business class alerts, SMS alerts for your dream destinations, member-only deals, partner perks from travel brands, and priority support, and you can try it for $1. The club says it serves customers with departure airports outside the US and offers discounted access for active military, veterans and people over 60. For pure bargain hunting, it overlaps heavily with Going, which costs less for its Premium plan, so Dollar Flight Club makes most sense if you want text alerts, the perks bundle or business class deals at a lower price than Going Elite. Like any alert service, it only saves money if your dates can follow the deals.
