FCF is a truly invaluable resource that helps avoid overpaying for flights and hotels. I caught a BIG saving on a flight to Australia. The information put out is useful and timely.

When FCF was smaller
When FCF was smaller , one could get more personalized service.
Now it seems harder to find information pertinent to one's own plans. Perhaps if there could be a categorization, it would facilitate a search.

Brief review
I find your research and information interesting and, occasionally useful, my travel destinations are almost never outside Europe or North America. Deals for South America and the South Pacific areas are just wasted space and time for me. In addition, complicated point swaps with airlines, credit cards, hotels, and other travel related entities are interesting but rarely fit my travel plans.

FCF is more than worth the price!
I’ve been receiving FCF tips for over 5 years and it has been amazingly helpful in finding good deals in business class. So much so, that I’ve been saved from being in economy seating over 98% of the time, and usually at minimal cost. I’m spoiled and grateful to Matthew Bennett and team for making it possible.
