Although we make a big impact, Airfarewatchdog is actually run by a small handful of people whose passion is saving consumers money on airfare. Real people finding real airfares. We do not use automation or computer programs to find the fares we list. Instead, we use the folks below:

 

Tracy (our newsletter guy/writer, New York City). He's the wit behind our site. Previous employment includes baggage handler for a major airline. Blame him for your lost Louis Vuitton (just kidding, Tracy).

 

Kim Liang (Senior Airfare Analyst, Washington, DC). He's not as mysterious as he looks :) Writes a weekly travel tips column for the Chicago Daily Herald and looks after our weekend fares, among other things.

 

Alisa (Airfare Analyst, New York, NY). Former travel agent and a wonderful person. WIth grandchildren in London, she's always on the lookout for low fares, and keeps Virgin Atlantic profitable.

 

Barbara (Senior airfare Analyst, Boston, MA). Always smiling. Well, frequently smiling. Took early retirement from Ma Bell and never looked back.

 

Bo (Airfare Analyst, New York, NY). He's our international man. Originally from somewhere in Scandinavia.

 

Jonathan (Our tech guru, Port Washington, New York). Where would we be without you? Gets frequent panicky calls from Barbara at 4 AM (e.g., "Help, the site is down!").

 

Gabriel (Senior Airfare Analyst, Toronto). Originally a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering, decided he had more fun saving you money on airfares.

 

George (Our Founder, New York, NY). Formerly a travel writer (Travel and Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, Real Simple, and other magazines), when not running the site he gets down in the trenches and looks for airfare deals.

 

"Browser" (Our Mascot, New York, NY). He sits underneath various desks here at Airfarewatchdog headquarters in midtown Manhattan, barking orders. (He's a wheaten terrier, in case you were wondering).
