Pinpoint Flights

Where Pinpoint Flights is available

Pinpoint Flights is open to travellers in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. In the United States, that excludes the 4 states below. Each of them requires a business that sells travel to its residents to register with the state first, and I'm working through those registrations one by one.

States I can't serve yet

California

CA

The law: California Seller of Travel Law (Business and Professions Code § 17550 and following)

Who runs it: California Attorney General

What it asks of a travel seller: Registration, a client trust account or bond, and joining the state's Travel Consumer Restitution Fund.

Hawaii

HI

The law: Hawaii Travel Agency law (Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 468L)

Who runs it: Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs

What it asks of a travel seller: Registration as a seller of travel and a client trust account.

Maryland

MD

The law: Maryland Sellers of Travel law (in effect from October 1, 2026)

Who runs it: Maryland Department of Labor

What it asks of a travel seller: Yearly registration and at least $1 million of professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance.

Washington

WA

The law: Washington Sellers of Travel Act (RCW chapter 19.138)

Who runs it: Washington Department of Licensing

What it asks of a travel seller: Registration and financial security, such as a bond or trust account.

Why it matters even for searching: I sell tickets directly, and these laws protect travellers by making sure a seller is registered and can refund money if a trip falls through (with a bond, a trust account or insurance). Until I'm registered in a state, I don't run searches or sell tickets there.

Everywhere else in the US, and in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, you can use Pinpoint Flights as normal. Florida, my home state, has its own registration too, and I hold it.

I go by the location your internet connection appears to come from. A VPN, a work network or a mobile hotspot can place you somewhere you're not; if you're blocked by mistake, try from a normal connection, or email me at [email protected]. The Terms of Service say who can use the service.
