Top 3 Flight Deal Tracking Sites

Tracking Flight Costs with Online Tools

So you’re planning a trip and need airfares. Maybe you’ve heard that buying tickets on Tuesday’s are the best time, there are new tools you can use to alert you that a deal is possible. As technology continues to disrupt industries, travel tools now allow you track flight prices, track historic data, and predict or project if you’re going to get a better deal, or if you should buy now.

Before you Buy

Shopping for flights is now like shopping for stocks. We recently reviewed using the Kayak Alert tool that allows you to track flights to a city on a daily basis, while also seeing historic trend data for flights to that city. It’s a great way to see what kind of deals are out there, but also lets you know if the trend is up or down, and how much you can save (or lose) each day.

We’d think that it’d be great to have the tool give the option of selecting “flights to all Florida cities” so you’d be able to check all the areas and find the lowest cost options to all airports in the area, vs. having to select the cities yourself.

You’ll need to set an account and provide an email. The tool also works for hotels.
