CEO Jeff Klee founded the company, originally known as 1-800-Cheap-Air, with a college buddy in their dorm room waaay back in 1989. The two were planning a backpacking trip through Europe on a student’s budget and got a crash course in the intricacies of the airline biz. To fund his wanderlust, Klee began helping others find deals and book trips. Turns out, he was really good at it. The company took off and it was bye bye law school, hello CheapAir.
Today, Klee and the 50+ travel enthusiasts who make up the CheapAir team still take a creative approach to fare finding. We are proud to have a 100% local team, all American-based, who prides itself on giving awesome (and human) customer service, so trip planners get the best user experience on the planet.
CheapAir.com has helped over three million people buy plane tickets easily and with confidence. We’d love to help you too. Go on. Get out there and go somewhere.
