Step 2 Flight price tracking services
→
Step 3 Promotion condition-based auto-filtering/alert services

Problem

LCCs like Eastar Jet and T'way release various promotions weekly, but travelers must check each airline's app/website individually. Complex conditions (dates, routes, payment methods) cause frequent misses of actual lowest fares. Working professionals planning 1-2 international trips per month spend an average of 2-3 hours comparing promotions and end up paying 10-30% more due to missed timing.

Solution

Real-time crawling of promotions from 6 domestic LCCs, delivering automatic alerts via KakaoTalk/Telegram only for deals matching the user's preset route/date/budget criteria. The key differentiator is auto-parsing promotion conditions (card discounts, early bird, group rates, etc.) to calculate the true lowest price.

Target: Working professionals aged 25-40 who travel internationally 3+ times per year, especially price-sensitive independent travelers
Revenue Model: Premium Subscription ~$2.20/month per account (Free: 1 route alert, Premium: unlimited routes + real-time alerts + price history), 20% discount for annual billing
Ecosystem Role: Consumer
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
