About I Want That Flight

I Want That Flight is 100% Australian owned and operated.

I developed the website in 2003 for my own personal use to make it easier for my wife and I to book our holidays and weekends away to Queensland and Sydney. Our friends and family started using it and gradually the site became more and more popular and now has approximately 10,000 visitors a day.

The site makes it easy to find the cheapest domestic airfares. We compare Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Blue and Regional Express (Rex) and direct the visitor to the airline if they want to purchase a ticket, which means no fees or commissions. If a cheaper price for the same airfare can be found through another travel agent, then that is shown as an option as well.

Your flights are shown in a calendar so you can easily compare airfares from one day to the next. No need to make separate searches for each day. Some other features are:

  • If you have flexible dates you can opt to view every flight within a 2 week window (both depart are return dates). No waiting around, we email you the results.
  • If you want to get away for a weekend, we can show you all flights for up to 10 weekends (depart Fri/Sat, return Sun/Mon).
  • A Daily Cheap Flights Email which shows the cheapest flights from your home airport in the last 24 hours.
  • Flight Alerts which allow you to specify the max price you want to pay for a ticket, and send you an email if it becomes available.
  • Summary pages which show the cheapest flights on routes for the next couple of months. Eg: Melbourne to Sydney or Melbourne to Whitsunday Coast (that would be nice).
  • Your FaceBook events can be shown in the flight results calendar, so you don't plan to fly & miss a party
  • Public and School Holidays are shown in the calendar, to help you choose the cheaper times to fly.
The list of future updates is longer than the current features - the site is definitely work in progress.

The site is coded by a team of one - Gath Adams (me) from my homebase in Melbourne. If you feel like offering a suggestion to make the site better then Send an Email or a message on Facebook. Feedback from visitors have shaped I Want That Flight! - I am writing this bio after a suggestion :)
