What "Away Mode" actually covers before your next trip
Sparkfare may earn a commission if you buy through the links below, at no extra cost to you. Read our disclosure.
Finding a genuinely cheap fare is only half the problem — the other half is everything that has to happen at home while you're gone. "Away Mode" is our name for that second half: a short checklist of real, currently-live partners, not a wishlist of things we'd like to offer eventually.
To be direct about where things actually stand: we have exactly 13 live partners today. We only add a partner once there's a real, working link, not a placeholder.
