How Flight Fare Pro Works

One problem, solved simply

You found a flight you want. You think the price might drop. You don't want to check it every day. That's what Flight Fare Pro does — it watches one specific flight's price and tells you when it drops below the number you set.

How it works in 3 steps

Step 1: Tell us which flight to track

Enter your airline, departure airport, arrival airport, and travel date. If it's a round-trip, add the return date too. Then set your target price — the fare that would make you book without hesitation.

Step 2: We check the price every hour

Our system queries live fare data for your specific flight every 60 minutes, 24 hours a day. This isn't route-level tracking like Google Flights — we're checking the actual fare for your exact airline, route, and date combination. Prices change most frequently late at night and early morning when airlines run batch pricing updates, so hourly checks catch drops that once-a-day tools miss entirely.

Step 3: You get an email when it drops

When the fare drops below your target price, we send you an email immediately with the current price and booking details. You also receive a daily summary email showing the current price of each flight you're tracking, so you always know where things stand — even when the price hasn't hit your target yet.

What airlines are supported?

Flight Fare Pro supports fare tracking across major domestic and international carriers, including:

• US carriers: American Airlines, Delta, United, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska Airlines, Spirit, Frontier
• International: British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, Emirates, Air Canada, Qantas, and many more

If the flight shows up on major booking sites, we can track it. We're continuously expanding airline and route coverage.

What does it cost?

It's free. You can track up to 3 flights at the same time at no cost. No credit card required, no trial period, no "premium tier" upsell to unlock basic features. We built this because we wanted it ourselves.

How is this different from Google Flights alerts?

Google Flights tracks routes — it tells you when any flight from JFK to LAX changes price. That's useful for discovery, but noisy if you've already decided on a specific airline and date. Flight Fare Pro tracks the specific flight you care about and only alerts you when it drops below a price you've chosen. Less noise, more signal.

How is this different from Hopper?

Hopper predicts whether prices will go up or down and recommends buy/wait. That's a forecast — useful but not always accurate. Flight Fare Pro doesn't predict. It monitors in real time and tells you the moment the price actually drops. Predictions guess. Tracking confirms.

Common questions

How fast should I book after getting an alert?

Fast. Fare drops can last anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. We've seen prices bounce back within 2-4 hours of a drop. The email includes direct links so you can book immediately.

Can I change my target price?

Yes. Log in to your dashboard and adjust the target on any active tracking. If prices are trending up and your original target seems too ambitious, raising it slightly ensures you don't miss a reasonable deal.

What happens when my travel date passes?

We automatically stop tracking. No action needed on your end. Your tracking slot frees up so you can use it for another flight.

Do I need an account?

Yes — a free account lets us send you email alerts and store your tracking preferences. Signup takes about 30 seconds.

That's it. Find your flight, set your price, and let us watch it for you. Start tracking here.
