Just Get Out of Town (JGOOT)

Question

Has anyone used Just Get Out of Town?  I am signed up for their free alerts, but they offer a premium service.  I haven't been able to find any reviews for them that are not on their facebook page.

They alert you to cheap airfare from your designated airport.  Other services I have heard of don't consider the airport you prefer to fly out of, so many of the deals aren't deals for me.

See what they offer, if you find something you like then go directly to the airline to book, do not use a third party.

Yes - you have to book through another party. JGOOT just alerts you to the deals. You can't book through them. I am interested in feedback on whether the premium membership is worth it.

It’s really hard to know if it’s worth it without knowing the price.

I would have zero use for such a service, but many more might have different needs.

Rather than going somewhere, I plan my trips, for both business, and pleasure.

I hope this group (never heard of them), is legit, but have my doubts.

Still, others need someone else to tell them where to go, such as the TA Influencers, who tout taking “daddy’s smallest yacht,” for 100 of their closest friends, and going to a secluded, private island. Or taking one of their jets, to party somewhere, that the unwashed could never go.

Best of luck,

IrishFan #3, Yes, “worth” is so very personal. What is “worth it” to me, might seem crazy to another. Hunt

The cost is $249 for a lifetime membership. By ‘worth it’ I meant has anyone used the premium membership and actually saved money where the membership pays for itself and then some.

“The cost is $249 for a lifetime membership”

==============

So $249 down the drain for “alerts” on “cheap flights” that you can get for free from other places, including here on TripAdvisor. The vast majority of those “cheap flights alerts” are completely useless anyway as the fares aren’t live, including here on TA.

And a “lifetime membership” to boot. Wow. Is that your lifetime or the lifetime of this combo who could go out of business this year or next, or just decide to shut up shop next week and pocket your money? Kerchingg for them, 250 bucks down the drain for you

Don’t touch them with a bargepole. The only live and genuine fare alerts are from the airlines themselves. It takes just a few minutes to sign up to offers directly with the airlines.
