Goose watches any flight - booked with us or anywhere else. Live delays, gate changes, leave-by timing, check-in nudges. And when an airline lands you 3+ hours late, the compensation maths is done and the claim letter drafted before they have finished apologising.
Tell Goose a flight number - yours, or someone you are picking up - and it takes the watch. Flights booked through Goose are watched automatically.
A reminder with the airline deep link when your check-in window opens.
A ping timed from your own front door - transit or drive, at the travel hour.
Gate assigned, gate changed, boarding soon. No refreshing a departures board.
Honest updates in local time - and at 3+ hours, the money maths begins.
Under UK261, an airline that lands you 3 or more hours late - or cancels inside 14 days - owes £220 to £520 per passenger, and most people never claim it. The UK regulator found over half of passengers were never told their rights.
Goose was watching, so the evidence is already recorded: the flight, the scheduled times, the actual times. It does the distance-band maths for your whole group, drafts the claim letter, and points you at exactly where the airline accepts claims. You send it. You keep every penny.
Want it fully handled instead? Goose can point you to a claims specialist - they take a cut of the payout, and Goose may earn a referral fee. Always disclosed, always your choice.
The same watching works before the trip exists. Say "watch London to Lisbon in September, under £80" and Goose checks real fares every day, staying quiet until a price genuinely drops or your threshold is hit. No daily noise, no spreadsheet of screenshots.
When the price is right, the alert card has a Book button. Tap it and Goose books direct with the airline - your card pays the carrier, never us, across 139 airlines. Zero commission, zero markup.
Fair is fair: Flighty is a superb live tracker and Hopper predicts prices well. Goose is the only one that is a travel agent - watching both the price and the flight, and drafting the claim when things go wrong.

Yes. Tell Goose the flight number and it watches any flight, whoever you booked with - an airline website, another app, a human agent. You get the same check-in reminders, leave-by timing, live delay tracking and compensation help as a flight booked through Goose.
In the days before you fly: schedule changes and your check-in window, with a deep link to the airline. On travel day: a leave-by ping timed from your own front door, gate assignments and changes, boarding, delays as they develop, wheels-up and landing. If a delay passes the 3-hour line, the compensation maths starts automatically.
Goose does the maths under UK261 (£220 to £520 per passenger depending on distance), drafts the claim letter from the recorded flight evidence, and points you at exactly where the airline accepts claims. You send it and keep every penny. Rather hand it off entirely? Goose can point you to a claims specialist instead - they take a cut, and Goose may earn a referral fee, always disclosed.
Flighty is excellent at live flight tracking, and Hopper is built around price prediction - but neither does your compensation maths, drafts your UK261 claim, or books and manages the trip in a chat thread. Goose is a travel agent that happens to track brilliantly: it watches the price before you book, watches the flight after, and turns a bad delay into a claim letter.
Type where and when. I'll do the rest.
