Frequently asked questions

You pick a specific flight. Air Savvy records today's fare as a baseline, re-checks that same itinerary daily, builds a price history, and emails you when the fare moves. It is a monitoring service — we do not sell tickets. See how flight price tracking works for the mechanics.

No. You can set up a tracker and see a live fare without registering. Creating a free account is what saves your trackers between visits and turns on email updates.

When creating a tracker, choose Target Price as the alert type and enter the figure you want to pay. Anchor it to your baseline rather than to a hope — roughly 10 to 15 percent below the starting fare is realistic on a competitive route. A target far below anything the route has ever seen will simply never fire.

Yes, and Air Savvy pins both legs. This matters more than it sounds: round-trip pricing depends on the pairing of the two flights, so a tracker that only pins the outbound can report your chosen departure paired with the cheapest available return — a fare for an itinerary you did not choose. See round trip vs one way.

Create a tracker for each option you are seriously considering. They run simultaneously and each keeps its own price history, so you can see which one is actually moving.

Trackers are checked daily. Checking far more often mostly produces noise — fare buckets can empty at any hour, but a consistent daily sample is what makes a price history readable.

Paid plans get alerts when the fare hits your target, and also when it rises significantly. Free accounts get a weekly email summarising where your tracked fares stand, rather than alerts as movements happen.

Because it is often the more useful message. A drop invites you to consider buying; a sustained rise tells you cheap inventory is disappearing and the window is closing. Knowing that early is what stops you watching a fare climb for a month and booking at the top.

Fares move continuously, so a price recorded this morning can shift by the time you open the airline's site. Treat a tracked price as a strong signal to go and check rather than a locked quote. If the gap is large and persistent, let us know — that is worth investigating.

Fare data comes from the sources that power flight metasearch, which covers the large majority of US and international carriers, including Delta, American, United, Alaska and JetBlue.

Southwest generally does not distribute fares through the aggregators that most search tools and trackers rely on. This is a genuine industry-wide blind spot rather than something specific to Air Savvy — you will need to check Southwest directly.

Yes. Pick the cabin you would actually fly when you create the tracker. Tracking economy while intending to book premium economy produces a history you cannot act on. Note that "premium economy" as a separate cabin is largely a long-haul product — see fare classes explained.

Up to three trackers, full price history, and a weekly email update. It is ad-supported, which is what funds the fare lookups.

More trackers and alerts that arrive when the fare actually moves rather than weekly. On a fare that dips for a day and recovers, that timing difference is the whole point.

They move to a Past flights section and stop being priced. They do not count against your plan limit, so an old tracker will never block you from adding a new one.

Yes — both are in Settings, where you can also update your name or send yourself a password reset link.
