Fly for Good is a new search engine that lets volunteers and humanitarian agency staff who need to fly overseas find and book discounted air tickets. Sometimes they can save up to 50% off published airfares and get more flexible rules and regulations.

“More than 12 major airlines already offer humanitarian discounts for volunteers,” said company President, Ryan Skoog. “We are the first to combine all of these discounts into a comprehensive online booking engine.”

The site’s parent company is volunteer travel airfare company AFC Travel.

Unfortunately the service is open only to US nonprofits.
