What You’ll Be Asked (and Why)

​

FairFare asks only one question at a time to reduce effort and confusion.

​

1. About the Traveler

You may be asked:

• Age range (example: “70–79”)

• General mobility or stamina (example: “tires easily”)

• Comfort needs (example: “prefers fewer connections”)

👉 Why: These affect connection times, airport stress, and total travel time.
👉 What it won’t ask: Birthdates, medical details, IDs, or payment info.

​

2. About the Trip

You’ll be asked for:

• Departure airport or city

• Destination

• Travel date(s)

• One-way or round-trip

👉 This is the minimum needed to look at real flight options.

​

3. Comfort Preferences (Optional but Helpful)

You may be asked (one at a time):

• Prefer fewer connections or lower cost?

• Minimum comfortable layover time

• Avoid red-eye or very early flights?

• Airline preferences or exclusions

• Total travel time tolerance

👉 If you skip these, FairFare uses a balanced, middle-of-the-road approach and tells you

      it’s doing so.

​
