Travel deals used to be a side project. You’d open six tabs on a Tuesday night, check three meta-search engines, save a route, and a week later remember to look again — by which time the cheap fare was gone and the new one cost twice as much.

Gateway Radar is the opposite of that. You tell us where you want to go and when. We do the looking. Once a day, before you’ve even sat down at your desk, you get one email with the three best fares we found that morning.

Why one email a day

Real-time price alerts feel useful for about four hours, and then they feel like spam. We picked a daily cadence because deals don’t actually change minute-to-minute, and because nobody wants their phone buzzing with a $2 price drop.

Three flights, ranked. Skim it in ten seconds. Book if something catches your eye. Delete if not. That’s the whole product.

What’s coming

Flight Watcher is live. Hotel Price Watcher is next — same model, same morning rhythm, but watching the room you actually want. After that, rental cars. By the end of the year we want one email to cover the full cost shape of a trip.

Thanks for being here early.
