Airfares are famously opaque, but the experts at Going.com unveiled new rankings that can help you feel assured you're getting a good deal the next time you fly.
In their first-ever Flight Deal Awards, the airfare booking and deals site released a list of the top airports and airlines for value airfares.
“The reason why I really love these awards is because a lot of the focus has been looking at airlines by quality, looking at how much they’re flying, what’s the biggest airport, or very easily quantifiable categories," Scott Keyes, the founder and chief flight expert at Going.com, told USA TODAY in an interview. "What matters (to consumers) is how much the ticket costs, that’s what matters at the end of the day.”
With these awards, Keyes said, Going was able to put that cost principle front and center.
According to Going, the rankings were compiled using "proprietary deal data across thousands of routes."
