Our Mission

To show individuals and families that travel is possible even when it seems unreachable. We’re committed to connecting people with places, cultures, and experiences because we believe that travel can be a force for good in the world.

Our Story

Flights From Home began because we realized that traveling with a family could be expensive, so we started watching flight deals. Now, with a supportive staff and thousands of subscribers, Flights From Home has grown. We want to help everyone create priceless travel memories!
