# Flare

> Flare is an iOS and Android travel application that detects unusually low flight fares from a traveller's departure area.

Flare is published by IVRYN. It is a fare-discovery product, not an airline or travel agency. Fare pages are timestamped observations, not booking guarantees. Travellers must confirm the final itinerary, total price, baggage and entry requirements with the relevant provider or authority.
