How does the flight search work?
Search results are live offers from our flight-data partner, fetched at the moment you search. Prices are per person and refresh with every new search — a fare seen an hour ago may be gone.
Can I book with points?
The points options shown next to each flight are estimates based on public transfer ratios between card programs and airlines. Tern doesn't move your points — the transfer and the award booking happen in your card and airline accounts.
How do refunds and changes work?
Bookings complete on the airline's site or our checkout partner's page, and that fare's own rules govern refunds and changes. Check the fare conditions before paying — Tern compares flights but never holds your ticket.
What does the delay-risk number mean?
It's a relative estimate built from the itinerary's shape — the number of stops, red-eye departure times, and tight connections. Use it to compare similar flights, not as a prediction for your specific day. It isn't live or historical delay data.
Why is the final price sometimes different?
Airlines reprice fares continuously, and the booking page always shows the authoritative amount. Currency conversions on Tern are for display and may differ slightly from your card's rate.
How do price alerts work?
Set a target price on a route and Tern checks new search results against it. Alerts live in your browser on this device — they don't follow you across devices yet.
