Signing Up For Travel Flight Alerts

Now that we have Facebook set up and you’re getting flight alerts, let’s talk about what websites you should sign up for to receive additional travel alerts. The following websites don’t send out error fares or amazingly cheap deals that need to be booked at a moment’s notice, but they do post some really good deals and they last much longer.

AIRFARE WATCHDOG

A lot of people use airfarewatchdog.com to build their travel bucket list. They have a cool feature that allows you to put in what cites you want to travel to and the price you want to pay. They will then send you an alert when a flight for the price want, going to your destination becomes available. You can also tell them which airlines you don’t want to receive offers from, which is also a great feature. Another reason they make people’s list is because they are one of the only websites that will send alerts for Southwest Airlines.

FARE COMPARE

This is another one of traveler’s go-to websites. People like this site because they love to use miles to travel. So whenever possible, they try their best to book my flights on American Airlines. With Fare Compare they give you the ability to search for deals by departure city and airline. That means you can type in LAX to “everywhere” on American Airlines and it will send you daily alerts on all of the flights leaving from LAX on American Airlines that, based on their algorithm, are considered to be good deals.

AIR-FARE

Some have a love hate relationship with this website. Not because the information isn’t good (it’s great) but the website is in need of some serious updating. While the website appears to be outdated (ignore the part at the bottom that says “last updated in 2008”), the rates are actually current. Many have contacted them several times about changing it, but here we are in 2016 and they’re still stuck in 2008, but people just ignore it. People recommend this site because, at a quick glance every day, you can get an idea of what’s leaving from my city and what the prices are. This gives you a starting point to compare with other websites, but it’s not uncommon for me to end up booking what they have posted because it’s often the lowest price you can find. The downside to this site is they focus only on domestic flights and only list about 25 departures cities. One thing to note, Air-fare.com is NOT the same company or website as Airfare.com. Airfare.com is a website which is not that popular, based on its laundry list of negative reviews, it should be avoided.

Be careful in scoring your travel flights online. Only transact with reputable sites!
