AirfareWatchdog good for spontaneous travel
Skies calling?
If you are looking to book a very specific flight right away, AirfareWatchdog.com might not be the best place to go. However, if you need to get out of town and just want to know the cheapest place to go, AirfareWatchdog is the perfect tool.
Or, if you are not looking to book a flight right now but want to book one in the near future, AirfareWatchdog can help.
Getting to know AirfareWatchdog
There are plenty of travel sites out there that scour airline web sites for you to find the cheapest airfare. However, AirfareWatchdog takes that a step further. It scours all of those travel sites — CheapAir, Expedia, Travelocity, etc. — and finds the cheapest airfares they are offering.
There are new tools popping up every day that help you find what you’re looking for online, whether its designer shoes, no fax payday loans or a trip to Ireland.
Not a flight-booking site
The main drawback to AirfareWatchdog is that you can’t book flights directly through the site. However, it does link you to sites where you can book them. This may leave you wondering what the real purpose of AirfareWatchdog is, which brings me to its best feature.
E-mail alerts
If you are planning a trip that’s a few weeks (or months) away, head to AirfareWatchdog right now. You can sign up for e-mail alerts that will let you know when a price changes for airfare between two cities.
Nowadays, airlines are scrambling for customers, and that has resulted in many slashed airfare deals. However, these deals can sometimes be unpredictable or short-lived. That’s where AirfareWatchdog’s e-mail alerts come in.
Thanks for the tip, Elizabeth. This definitely sounds like a sweet deal to me. I’m the type of person who likes to plan trips –>way–> before hand and will do anything to save a few bucks on airfare tickets.
Oh, man. This is good idea. Granted, a wise acre could say that you could get the same job done in an extra 15 minutes, but then again, you don’t have to pay anything extra for it. This is going to come in handy the next time I need a flight. I could save up another hour’s worth of chips when I take a trip to Vegas!
