Your trusted partner in flight discovery since 2020
RugCheck was founded in 2020 with a simple mission: to make air travel more accessible and affordable for Canadians. What began as a small startup in Lake Reuben, New Brunswick has grown into one of Canada's most trusted flight aggregation platforms.
Our founders, Emily and Michael, experienced firsthand the challenges of finding affordable flights across Canada's vast geography. They recognized that existing flight search tools weren't adequately serving Canadian travelers, particularly those looking to explore beyond major hubs like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.
This realization sparked the idea for RugCheck – a flight aggregator specifically designed with Canadian travelers in mind. Our name, inspired by the concept of pulling back the rug to reveal hidden gems, reflects our commitment to uncovering the best flight deals that others miss.
Today, RugCheck helps thousands of travelers each month find affordable flights across Canada and beyond. We're proud to be a Canadian company serving Canadian travelers, with deep knowledge of our country's unique travel landscape.
To democratize air travel by providing Canadians with transparent, comprehensive flight options that enable more people to experience the joy of travel.
