dealber any domestic one-way $99, $199 RT (unable to confirm)

http://www.dealber.com/united-states/deal/remarkable-offer!-$99-for-all-one-way-or-$199-for-all-round-trip-flights-anywhere-in-the-u-s-a!

Booking is subject to availability. Dealber.com would advise you to check the flight availability prior to purchasing your coupon. Then, to increase your chance to get the flight you identified, you must book your flight through the booking engine as soon as possible. This deal is valid for bookings commencing 1st of January 2016 until the 20th of December 2016, with Travel Dates from 10 January 2016 to 31 December 2016.

The site is is 'shaky' the say the least. Might be a full blown scam. Or it's legit but badly done.

No details which airports are included (i.e. HNL, ANC).

I have yet to find availability for ANY flight at their search provided.

BUT if it works out it can be a great deal.

How do you even look for 'available' flights?

Their search engine doesn't even work http://travel.dealber.com/searching

I found some availability, all for United. Maybe just a coincidence but the dates I found availability, fares were less than $199 RT.

Never heard of the site, it was just created a few weeks ago. Might just be selling regular fares that cost less than $199, at $199. Even if it was legit, seems like a risk to buy it, then have to wait until enough other people buy it and hope that availability is still there.

Reminds me of this "bogus flight coupon" business: http://www.buzzfeed.com/nitashatiku/...er#.uj8Rj1JExk , http://www.ketv.com/news/company-sol...m-all/31926228 .

"The price that I was look at was for a 90 day in advance reservation for $139 round trip anywhere that Southwest flies," Creative Creations customer Phyllis Hicks said.

Hicks paid for several tickets and received a receipt. The voucher explained that customers would fly on the days they requested, and a confirmation should arrive at least month before departure.

However, Hicks never received her confirmation email because Creative Creations exceeded the 2,000 vouchers for flights in March.
It was a really interesting sort of Ponzi situation and caused some wrinkles during Square's IPO as they had to explain their role in the fraudulent charges.

This seems to be a reincarnation of AirFastTickets.

Based on my experiences with AFT, I would strongly suggest avoiding...

How does this work? Is it like a coupon that only works once a certain number of people buy it?

Just looking at the main page it says "71 bought, 929 more needed to get the deal". So I'm assuming if the 1000 total units aren't sold, you pay the original fare price without the discount?

Website features AirTran as one of the carriers, Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn pages don't exist. Plenty of typos and spelling errors.

Take a look at the merchant info page:

They spammed all my 80+ ex-airfasttickets account emails

I've seen some LAX/SFO-HNL flights for $99, but I wouldn't wait too long to redeem the voucher and get the tickets.

Still, looks like a shady scheme.

Unreliable? Look, it lays out all the terms in plain, grammatically correct English, as seen in the following snippet. Besides, who would doubt a guaranteed $99.0 fare from all U.S.A. destination to all U.S.A. destination? 😉

From the site:

The $99.0 one-way or round-trip $199.0 voucher is valid across all available airlines (IATA members) under the booking site

for one way coupon : http://travel.dealber.com/offer/3

for rountrip : http://travel.dealber.com/offer/4


These include:

•American Airlines
•United Airlines
•Jet Blue

How to Book Your Flight

Dealber.com advise: check availabilities before buying your coupon. Then, book your flight before someone else get your seat before you!

1/ Check availabilities on: for one way coupon : click here for rountrip : click here

2/ Buy your coupon 99$ for Oneway or 199$ roundtrip

3/ Go back on the Booking Engine From 10th of January and select your flight

4/ Provide passenger’s information and Coupon Code

5/ Congrats! You will receive your e- ticket by e-mail within 48h.

A few observations -
'rountrip'
'someone else get your seat before you'
'Oneway' in one sentence but appears 'one way' in another vs. 'one-way' elsewhere

However, here is the kicker why I'm offended they don't simply start off asking me for my credit card and expiration and they will contact me later to give me voucher (why bother with passenger info, etc.) heck why even get my phone number just my CC and they will track me down somehow via my email address.

I don't claim to be a math expert, use a calculator or even have a pencil and paper but the fact that buying two $99 one-ways is CHEAPER vs. a round-trip $199 (why not $198?) is simply wrong!

What is wrong with society or original poster?
