The Going App Celebrates $6.3 Million in Airfare Savings and Launches 'My Trips' to Revolutionize Flight Deal Tracking

For a limited time, travelers can unlock 40% off Premium and Elite memberships available through March 31, 2025
NEW YORK, March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- One year after launching its mobile app, Going (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights) has uncovered more than $6.3 million in flight savings and is approaching one million user downloads, solidifying its position as a leading travel-tech company. As airfare prices continue to rise, Going is meeting consumer demand for smarter, more affordable ways to book flights at an average savings of 44% per roundtrip ticket.
'Most travelers just want to know one thing: Is this a good deal, or should I wait?' said Scott Keyes, Going founder and chief flight expert. 'Unlike other flight alert services that rely on historical pricing trends, we track prices in real time and pair that with human flight expert analysis to make sure members never miss out on a truly great fare. If it's not a deal worth booking, we won't send it. That's how our members have landed incredible fares, like a $114 roundtrip to Dublin.'
Introducing My Trips: personalized flight tracking for smarter savings
Since 2015, Going has been finding and sending the very best cheap flight deals to members. But with survey data showing 70% of members planning trips for specific dates and destinations, the need for a more personalized solution became clear.
My Trips, the latest feature in the Going app, allows members to track flights for specific trips and receive real-time price alerts, offering two flexible options for planning travel to their desired destination:
I have dates in mind – Travelers choose departure city, destination, and travel dates, and Going will send app alerts when prices drop
I'll go anytime – After selecting a destination, Going will monitor flights from all followed airports and track the best available deals
'For years, we've focused on helping people travel by jumping on incredible flight deals whenever they popped up,' Keyes said. 'But travelers move through a matrix of planning styles. Sometimes they have a dream destination in mind, other times they just want to go wherever the best deal takes them. My Trips bridges that gap, making it easier than ever to book flights at the lowest price. Whether locked into specific dates or just waiting for the right opportunity, we're committed to helping people take more vacations.'
A year of savings and growth
In just one year, the app has become a go-to tool for affordable travel, unlocking millions in savings for travelers:
11,245 flight deals sent in the first year
$6.3 million in savings unlocked through app alerts
44% average savings per roundtrip ticket for all members
$1,100 average savings per roundtrip ticket for Elite members booking business and first class flights
$400 average savings per roundtrip ticket for Premium members on international and domestic flights
$350 average savings per roundtrip ticket even for free-tier Limited members
A month of discounts
To celebrate this milestone, Going is making travel even more affordable with 40% off Premium and Elite memberships all month long at Going.com. The sale runs through March 31, and travelers can apply the promo code MARCH40 at checkout.
Shaping the future of affordable travel
Over the past decade, Going has evolved from a viral flight deal newsletter into a leading travel platform, helping millions of travelers book smarter and save more while ensuring the best prices without kickbacks or commissions from airlines.
'We're building smarter tools to make travel planning easier, more accessible, and more affordable, ensuring that travelers never overpay for their next trip,' Keyes said.
With a flexible membership model, Going makes it easy for every traveler to access the best flight deals:
Limited Membership – Free access to select economy-class deals within the continental United States.
Premium Membership ($29 per year in March, normally $49 per year) – Unlocks economy-class deals to international destinations, plus Alaska and Hawaii.
Elite Membership ($119 per year in March, normally $199 per year) – Offers exclusive savings on premium economy, business, and first-class fares.
As Going continues to expand, its commitment remains the same: helping travelers go more places for less. To check out the latest deals, download the Going app.
*My Trips is currently available for Premium and Elite members with expansion to Limited members planned in the coming months
Going, the travel app for discovering flight deals, has helped members around the world make their travel dreams come true since 2015. We combine sophisticated software and human Flight Experts to discover flight deals and mistake fares up to 90% off and send them to our 2 million members. Unlike fully automated fare alerts services, every deal alert we send to members has passed a rigorous quality evaluation by our team to ensure it's worth members' hard-earned money and limited travel time.

Concordia Shanghai Breaks Ground on Visionary New Rittmann Center

State-of-the-art facility will transform student life through the arts, athletics, and wellness. SHANGHAI, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Concordia International School Shanghai is set to break ground on a major redevelopment of the Rittmann Center, expanding the iconic facility into a modern, 13,710-square-meter multi-purpose hub designed to support student excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, and wellness. Named after former Head of School Dr. David Rittmann, the Rittmann Center was first completed in December 2007, with a purpose to enhance the school's creative arts education. More than five times the size of the current building, the new Rittmann Center marks one of the largest facility investments in the school's history. Designed to serve students across all divisions, it embodies Concordia's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and holistic education. The new center will house: An eight-lane, 25-meter competition pool with spectator seating for 240 A professional-grade theater with seating for over 500—a major upgrade from the current 330 Purpose-built music classrooms for band, choir, and strings Six dedicated practice rooms, three ensemble rooms, and a 170m² drama studio Four expansive art studios filled with natural light and designed for creative exploration Two underground floors and four above ground, maximizing space while maintaining a compact campus footprint A green roof and infrastructure built to meet LEED II certification standards, continuing the school's focus on sustainability Architects from Ennead have worked closely with the school to shape a building that's not only functional but inspiring, incorporating advanced acoustic treatments, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and student-centered design principles to support 21st-century learning and performance. "The Rittmann Center has long been a space where students shine," said Dr. Eric Semler, Head of School. "This new facility will take that to the next level—empowering students to explore their passions, build confidence, and thrive in a community that celebrates their talents." Construction will begin after the end of the 2024–25 school year and is expected to be completed by July 2027. To minimize disruption to learning, the school has implemented: Phased construction scheduling tied to school breaks Sound barriers, vibration dampeners, and dust suppression systems Dedicated traffic flow systems to avoid student movement areas "This is more than a building project - it's an investment in our students' future. It's about creating an environment where future generations can learn, perform, and grow," added Dr. Semler. About Concordia International School Shanghai Founded in 1998, Concordia International School Shanghai is a co-educational day school that offers a comprehensive American-style education to students from Preschool through High School. Located in Jinqiao, an international community in Shanghai's Pudong New Area, we are dedicated to cultivating the unique gifts of our students in any areas they are passionate about.

Hakone Retreat Offers a Unique Highland Experience to Cool All Five Senses

A Refreshing Summer Found Only Here HAKONE, Japan, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hakone Retreat före & villa 1/f, an evolving resort hotel nestled in the natural beauty of Sengokuhara, Hakone (Kanagawa Prefecture) and a partner hotel of Hotel Management Japan, invites guests to experience a refreshing summer escape starting Saturday, June 7, 2025. This special seasonal program is designed to immerse guests in a "highland retreat" that cools all five senses. As Japan's summers grow increasingly intense, with more days frequently exceeding 35°C, many urban dwellers choose to stay indoors, and international travelers are beginning to express concern about enduring the summer heat in Japan. While Hakone was once a popular summer destination, lower-altitude areas like Odawara and Hakone-Yumoto are gradually losing that appeal due to rising temperatures. However, Sengokuhara, where our retreat is located, sits in the highlands with an elevation of about 660 meters. According to meteorological studies, the temperature drops by approximately 0.6°C for every 100-meter increase in elevation. This means Sengokuhara can be around 4°C cooler than the city during the day. At dusk, a gentle breeze flows through the forest, sunlight filters softly through the trees, and the sounds of insects fill the air, creating a deeply soothing "highland evening" atmosphere. Although Hakone is primarily associated with hot springs, its charm as a summer destination for escaping the heat is still not widely known. That's why we aim to highlight the hidden appeal of Hakone—as a refreshing summer retreat—through the natural advantages of Sengokuhara's elevation. At Hakone Retreat före & villa 1/f, we are proud to offer a wide variety of seasonal programs that allow guests to experience "coolness", not only via the temperature but through immersive sensory experiences, providing an escape where nature soothes and refreshes the mind and body. Seven Sensory Experiences to Embrace the Cool Highlands of Summer 1. Hyoseki Yoga (Daytime) A quiet, self-paced yoga experience held inside Tawarai-kaku, a historic sukiya-style Japanese house. Guests are free to place yoga mats in their preferred spot and immerse themselves in the scent of wood and the refreshing morning or evening air. This is a time to breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and gently reflect inward. *Included for overnight guests. 2. Picnic Lunch Box A special, summer-exclusive lunch box crafted by our chefs is ideal for enjoying in natural settings like Mt. Kintoki and Chisuji Falls, where the highland breeze and shade offer a serene escape. Indulge in this moment of outdoor luxury surrounded by filtered sunlight and cool air. Price: from JPY 2,500 (tax included). 3. Hyoseki Co-Working Space (Private Room Rental) A private room in the historic Hyoseki-kaku is available for rent as a quiet workation space. Surrounded by crisp highland air and tranquility, this creative setting promotes focus and inner calm. The view of greenery outside further expands your mental space. Price: JPY 1,100 per hour (tax included). *Available for overnight guests only, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 4. Higurashi 1/f (Hammocks on the Rooftop of könoha spa) At dusk, relax on a hammock atop könoha spa in the villa 1/f area, enveloped by the sound of cicadas and the cool evening breeze. Revel in a moment of surrender, as your body unwinds and nature's tranquil symphony invites your senses to rest. *Included for overnight guests. 5. Post-Bath Cool Down at free bird & terrace After a refreshing soak, head to free bird & terrace to feel the gentle highland breeze, sip a chilled drink, and enjoy a sweet treat. This is a moment to cool down with all five senses, in peaceful harmony with nature. *Included for overnight guests. 6. A Refreshing Drink at Hyoseki Enjoy sparkling sake or chilled Japanese tea in the serene Japanese restaurant, Hyoseki. Take in the slow, quiet rhythm of the highlands and savor a moment of refined coolness. *Included for overnight guests. 7. Beer Terrace at free bird & terrace Relax with a cold drink in the free bird & terrace open-air lounge, where the evening breeze soothes both body and soul. It's an ideal setting for unwinding under the summer sky. Period: July 8 - August 31, 2025 Price: from JPY 600 (tax included). About Hakone Retreat före & villa 1/f Nestled in the rich natural surroundings of Sengokuhara in the Hakone mountain range, Hakone Retreat före & villa 1/f offers a special relaxation space where guests are soothed by the seasonal beauty of nature. The property consists of two areas: the modern hotel, före, with 37 rooms, and villa 1/f, with 18 standalone cottages, including seven newly opened villas completed in August 2024. Facilities include the wood-fired cuisine restaurant WOODSIDE dining, the Japanese restaurant Hyoseki, the cafe & lounge, the ONSEN f hot spring, and the könoha spa. At free bird & terrace, guests are welcomed with inclusive seasonal beverages and welcome services while relaxing among ever-changing plants, swaying trees, the colors of the sky, and the scent of the breeze—an atmosphere reminiscent of a Nordic resort. -Website: -Instagram: About Oriental Hotels & Resorts Oriental Hotels & Resorts is a hotel chain brand operated by Hotel Management Japan Co., Ltd.

The All-in-One AI Tutoring Platform Designed for Kids and Affordable for Every Family - Think Academy Launches TalPad T100 Tablet

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As screen time continues to rise in American households, Think Academy, one of the world's leading education innovators, has introduced the TalPad T100, a next-generation kids' tablet designed to improve academic performance, form better learning habits, and make studying fun and engaging—without compromising on quality. Whether your child is in kindergarten, elementary school, or part of a homeschool curriculum, TalPad offers a powerful, modern alternative to traditional after-school programs or expensive tutors.

From solving tricky math problems to explaining writing prompts, the device provides real-time support for busy parents. It's like having a math tutor, math solver, and homework helper all in one child-friendly device. What sets it apart from products of other well-known kids' brands like Tonies, Yoto, and LeapFrog is that TalPad is more versatile and intelligent. It not only includes fun educational content like the children's AI companion "Thinkie" or fun math games for kids, but also features the AI "Genius Tutor" system that can assist with various subjects. Additionally, TalPad comes with all the standard functions of an Android tablet, making it an affordable all-purpose tablet. "As an education company, we've talked to so many parents and families—and we understand the real challenges they face when it comes to their kids' learning. They've got questions like, how can I help my child succeed in school? Are after-school programs really worth it? Or maybe even does my child need a tutor? And some parents tell us their kids are really struggling with specific subjects—spelling, writing or math for kids—and they just don't know where to start. That's exactly why we created TalPad," said Yujing Sun, General Manager of Think Academy. "TalPad was built to help solve these very problems. Meanwhile, we believe that with the development of AI technology, every kids deserves—and should have—easier access to high-quality educational resources. It is a right for every kids and individual in this era. TalPad is more than a learning tablet, it's like giving every child their own elite mentor." For families exploring homeschooling or seeking to enhance their homeschool programs, TalPad offers the perfect solution. Seamlessly aligning with most homeschool curriculums, our platform empowers parents with a structured yet flexible framework for home education - featuring thousands of engaging math lessons, interactive eBooks, and premium content crafted by leading educators.

TalPad ensures children not only master core concepts but maintain academic parity with traditional school peers through Grade 6. With TalPad, parents gain both the tools for effective homeschooling and the confidence that their child's educational progress remains on track with conventional standards. Compared to commonly seen kids' or educational tablets like Amazon Fire or Smile Zemi, TalPad offers more comprehensive subject support and truly AI-powered personalized learning.
