Don't just take our word for it, join countless others and discover why we have become the preferred choice for travellers globally.
Alternative Airlines is a flight search and booking site that makes it quick and easy to book flights with more than 600 airlines worldwide. Flying to New York? London? Sydney? Paris? Or somewhere more remote in South America or Africa? It doesn't matter where you're flying to, we have flights at great prices from airlines all over the world.
So, what makes Alternative Airlines unique? Well, we use our own industry-leading technology to bring you more flight options that you can't easily find elsewhere online. We combine flights from multiple airlines (even when these airlines do not share an existing partnership agreement) so that you can choose from more flight options per route. In the industry, this is known as Virtual Interlining and means we bring you more choices to get from point A to point B — no matter where these points may be!
Another benefit of our Virtual Interlining technology and the greater choice of flight options that we are able to offer you because of this technology is that you're also more likely to find cheaper flight options when you search with us.

Sometimes, speed is everything. Whether you're flying with a young family or just want more time to enjoy your vacation, we can help you find the quickest flights available.
Thanks to our industry-leading technology, we're able to bring you more flight options per route. We combine flights from airlines that would not normally be combined. This is because these airlines do not share a codeshare or interline partnership agreement. However, we use our special (Virtual Interlining) technology to mix and match flights with these different airlines, and therefore offer you more options per route. By mixing flights with multiple carriers, including transfers and connections, we're also more likely to bring you faster flight options.
