Fare watch

A daily check on a route and dates you care about, with an alert when the fare drops below your target.

Paste this into your agent

Check the fare for [route] on [dates] once a day and message me when it falls below [target price]. Each alert should give the airline or operator, the total price including bags, the times and the fare conditions. If the price jumps or seats are running low, tell me that as well. Never reserve or purchase a fare, because this job sends alerts and nothing else.

What the agent does

  1. Check the route and dates once a day

  2. Compare the full fare with your target

  3. Note conditions, baggage and times

  4. Send an alert when the target is met

Rules to add

  • No holds, reservations or payments
  • Compare full prices including bags and fees
  • End the watch once the trip is booked or the dates have passed

What you end up with: A message on the day your fare dips below target, with the conditions spelled out.
