Join Our Team. Full Time Fare Analyst Position Available!

Do you love finding low airfares, either for yourself or family and friends? Great! Airfarewatchdog.com, an Expedia company, is on the hunt for someone like you. You'll help maintain our fare database, scouring every possible source to find the lowest possible fares in various markets.

When we say we're hiring "Fare Analysts," it's not just a fancy name we made up. You'll actually be analyzing, using your noggin and not a computer program, if an airfare is a "deal" or not.

As an Airfarewatchdog Fare Analyst, you'll spend your day asking, and answering, questions like these:

1) OK, so JetBlue is offering a $20 off coupon today on all flights. Their lowest fare from New York to LA is $218. But US Air has that route for $148 today. But US Air isn't nonstop. So which is the better deal? JetBlue for $218-$20 on a nonstop or the US Air sale fare? Or are both "decent" fares?

2) Spirit Airlines is offering 9 cent fares again, plus a $50 off "coupon". Does that mean that their Boston to Myrtle Beach fare really less than $0, since the taxes on that route are $35?

3) Baltimore to Detroit on Travelocity is $98 today. But Travelocity and Orbitz and the rest don't include Southwest's fares. So what is Southwest.com charging today?

4) LA to London is pretty darn expensive for summer travel right now. Should we wait until there's a sale to list fares on Airfarewatchdog? Wait, Air New Zealand flies that route and sometimes has low fares you can only buy on their site. Let's see what they're offering today.

5) Southwest just announced a 50% off coupon code to Phoenix. Oops, looks like United has reacted with fares that are a bit lower. But most of Southwest's fares are valid on nonstop flights. Which fares should be tell people about?

It's sort of like being a travel agent, but you're not actually booking--just looking. And instead of doing it for one person at a time, you're doing it for thousands.
