About Air Savvy

Flight price tracking for people who would rather see the data than guess.

Last updated 2026-08-02

Why we built it

Buying a plane ticket is one of the few significant purchases most people make with no idea whether the price is good. A hotel room has a nightly rate you can sanity-check. A car has a sticker price and a book value. A flight has a number that appeared on your screen this morning and may be different this afternoon, with nothing to compare it against.

That uncertainty is not accidental. Airline revenue management is designed to charge each traveler close to the most they will pay, and it works best when the traveler cannot tell where today's price sits in the range. The result is a familiar cycle: check obsessively, buy out of exhaustion, then watch the fare drop the following week.

Air Savvy exists to break that cycle with the only thing that actually helps — a record of what the fare has actually done.

What Air Savvy does

You pick a specific flight, not just a route. Air Savvy records the price that day as your baseline, re-checks the same itinerary daily, builds a price history you can look at, and emails you when the fare moves in a way that matters.

That is the whole product. It is deliberately narrow.

Tracking the flight, not the route

This is the design decision that shapes everything else. Plenty of tools will tell you the cheapest fare on a route. That number is frequently useless — it may be a different airline, a 6am departure, a two-stop routing, or a basic economy fare you would never buy.

Air Savvy pins the actual flight: the carrier, the flight number, the fare type, and on a round trip both the outbound and the return. When an alert says the fare is $560, that is the fare for the itinerary you chose. An alert about a ticket you would not buy is worse than no alert, because it teaches you to ignore the next one.

A baseline, not just a number

Every tracker records the price on the day you created it. Everything afterward is measured against it. This is what turns "$612" into information — you can see whether the fare is near the bottom of its range or near the top, and decide accordingly.

Alerts in both directions

Most tools tell you when a price drops. Air Savvy also tells you when it is climbing, because that is often the more actionable message. A drop invites you to consider buying. A sustained rise tells you the cheap inventory is disappearing and the window is closing.

What Air Savvy does not do

We would rather be clear about the limits up front.

• We do not sell tickets. Air Savvy is a monitoring service. When you are ready, we link you to the airline or a booking site and you buy there. We never see your payment details for a flight.
• We do not predict prices. A price history describes what has happened, not what will. Anyone offering certainty about future fares is guessing with more confidence than the data supports.
• We cannot see every airline. Fare data comes from the same sources that power flight metasearch. Carriers that do not distribute fares through those channels — Southwest is the notable US example — will not appear, and you will need to check them directly.
• We cannot hold a price. Only booking does that. Fares move continuously, so treat a tracked price as a strong signal to go and check rather than a locked quote.

How the plans work

The free plan is ad-supported and includes up to three trackers with a weekly email summarising where your fares stand. It exists so you can use the thing properly before deciding whether it is worth paying for.

Paid plans add more trackers and, more importantly, alerts that arrive when the fare moves rather than on a weekly schedule. On a fare that dips for a day and recovers, that timing difference is the entire value.

Details are on the main page, and the billing terms are in the Terms & EULA, including the refund policy.

Who we are

Air Savvy is built and operated by Diothas Systems, LLC, a small US software company. We are not an airline, a travel agency, or a booking site, and we are not owned by one. We have no commercial interest in you buying any particular fare, which is why the alerts are built to tell you when to wait as readily as when to buy.

Get in touch

Questions, bug reports and feature requests are all welcome, and they genuinely shape what gets built. Use the support form or email support@air-savvy.com. We typically respond within one business day.

If you are new to how airfare pricing works, the guides are a good place to start — particularly how airline pricing actually works, which explains why the same seat has a dozen different prices.
