I'll watch your flight price for you

Tell me the trip you're already planning and what you'd want to pay. When the fare hits your number, you get an email.

How it works

  1. You tell me the trip. Where you're going, roughly when, how many of you, and the price per person you'd be happy to pay.

  2. I set up the watch. It checks that fare every two hours, day and night, and records every price it sees.

  3. You get an email when it hits your number. With the airline, the flight numbers, and how far the price came down.

  4. You decide. Book it, or don't. Either is fine.

You also get your own page

A private link, no login, showing today's price against your target and every price recorded since we started. If a fare has been creeping up for three weeks, you'll see that too.

Nonstop and connecting fares sit side by side on it, so a nonstop that's thirty dollars more than the cheapest connection doesn't stay hidden behind it.

Why this is free

I don't earn anything on flights. No commission, no fee, no catch to go looking for.

What I get is that you see how I work. If the trip comes together and you want help with the hotel or anything else, you'll know where I am. If you don't, you still got your flight alert.

One honest thing

I'm watching published fares, not holding them. Prices move, and one can be gone by the time you click. The alert tells you it's worth looking right now.

Tell me about the flight

Seven questions, plus two you can skip. Rough answers are fine — I'll ask if I need more.

Where your alerts go.
City or airport. "Boston" is enough.
"First week of April" or "April 3–10" — whatever you know so far.
Leave this empty if you're flying one way.
The number that would make you book it.
Flexible on dates? Another airport that works? Tell me here.

I set these up by hand, so give me a day. You'll get the link to your page when it's live.
