WHAT we do
The standby availability checker instantly lets you see our forecast of the number of seats still open for sale in each cabin, right now, on every major route worldwide. Our displays show almost every airline* flying the route. (excludes Delta Airlines, sorry!)
WHAT our open seat numbers show you
Our standby forecast numbers are an estimate of the number of unsold seats still available for sale to the public at the time you are looking. Unfortunately we cannot show the size of the nonrev standby list.
HOW we do this
We use flight availability as supplied in real-time via one of the major industry GDS systems as our raw data source. We then pass that data through a number of tables and algorithms, built with our deep industry knowledge, to produce our forecast outputs. In other words, just like Google's search algorithm, 'its a secret'!
HOW accurate are our forecasts?
The lower the number, the more accurate we can be. Zero means there are definitely no seats left open for sale. Once into single digits the forecast is around 95% accurate. Showing between 10-40 seats our forecasts are sufficiently accurate on a relative scale to be trusted and used by our thousands of members since 2003.
HOW MUCH does it cost?
idDeals.com is a paid membership site. Don't worry, you can try it out for free by starting with a free VISITOR membership which shows you the full workings, but with your search restricted to tomorrow's flights.
LITE membership is our cheapest paid membership with search restricted to the next 7 days.
JETSETTER is full membership with no practical limits to how far ahead you can search.
Best value memberships are paid annually. If you only need service for a month or two you can pay quarterly but this will quickly provide less value if you continue beyond one quarter.

But wait....there's more.......
Airline employee hotel rebates NOT publicly available
Search by destination to find over 12,000 global properties that can be instantly booked online. Unlike other sites we only display hotels which offer airline industry rates. And unlike most cheap web prices there is normally no requirement to pay upfront. If you are offloaded then you can normally cancel or postpone your booking without charge, up until the afternoon of arrival.
Car rental, cheaper than public rates
Our partnership with Car Trawler brings you best rates in over 134 countries from all the major rental companies.
