Some pro tips on using price alerts to track flight prices:

  • Sign up for a bunch! If you've got some itinerary flexibility, sign up for flight price alerts on any of the date combinations you are thinking about traveling during. Same goes for if you have flexibility for departure airports or for destinations. This way you'll get an update about when flight rates drop for all the flights you are interested in!
  • Track as early as you can. The sooner you set up flight price alerts, the more likely you will be to see more price changes. You'll have more time to be catching sales and different fare changes meaning you'll also have more opportunities to find that perfect price.
