Cheap flight vs a good deal
Cheap and good are not the same thing. The lowest euro amount on the map can be an ordinary fare for that trip, while a higher fare to a farther city can be the unusual opportunity — if FareHalo has enough comparable trips to say so.
The homepage example, used as product UI
FareHalo’s cheap-versus-good story uses two illustrative cards from the same origin idea: Lisbon at €74 rated Good, and Reykjavík at €176 rated Exceptional. Lisbon is cheaper in euros. Reykjavík sits much further below what that trip usually costs. These are the live FareHalo fare cards, labelled as examples — not live quotes.

What “good deal” means here
FareHalo is a flight opportunity scanner, not a cheapest-flight ranking. When enough comparable fares exist, it rates the gap versus typical — not the smallest number. That is why a €90 short-haul can be Expensive relative to normal, and a €400 long-haul can be Exceptional. Details of that comparison are in is this flight price good? and on how ratings work.
FareHalo does not rate every fare. If comparable evidence is missing, the destination stays Not yet rated. Distance value may still highlight a useful trip without becoming Good or Exceptional. Do not treat an unrated cheap fare as a confirmed deal.
Use it on a real search
On the opportunity map, set origin, windows and trip length, then leave destination open if you can — see flexible destination flight search. Sort and filter do not spend a live check. When a destination looks interesting, Check current fares validates that itinerary. Discovery remains indicative; the seller total can still change. FareHalo does not sell tickets.
