Flight price alerts: how a price watch works

Fares change daily. A price alert keeps watch for you and pings you when it gets cheaper — so you don't have to keep checking.

What is a price alert?

You set a route and a threshold price. When the fare drops below it, you get a notification. No more guessing the right moment.

Why it beats manual searching

• You never miss a temporary drop or error fare.
• You see whether the current price is low, normal or high versus history.
• You get a "buy now or wait" signal.

Choosing a smart threshold

A good alert price sits just below the route's recent average — achievable, but a real saving. In Flights the app suggests that threshold automatically from real price history, and you can get alerts via push, email or WhatsApp.

FAQ

How often is the price checked?

Good price watches check several times a day automatically.
