    Episode 15 – Get Notified About Price Drops 💰📢
    Apr 17 2025

    Hey, travelers! 🌍 Welcome back to Tips in 10, the podcast that delivers quick, actionable tips to make life easier—all in 10 minutes or less.

    Today, we’re uncovering one of the best-kept secrets to scoring cheap flights—setting fare alerts to track price drops and book at the perfect time! 🎟️💸

    Ever booked a flight only to see the price drop right after? 😩 Frustrating, right? Well, not anymore!

    According to Hopper, travelers who monitor fares and book during price dips can save up to 40% on tickets! 🚀 So stick around—this one’s going to make your wallet very happy! 🎧✨


    🏆 Why Fare Alerts Are a Game-Changer

    💡 Flight prices change constantly—sometimes multiple times a day!

    ⏳ Fare alerts track prices for you—no more refreshing airline websites!

    📩 You get notified when prices drop, so you can book at the lowest price.

    🔥 Pro Tip: Set fare alerts months in advance to catch deals before prices spike!


    🛠 Best Tools & Apps for Fare Alerts

    📊 Google Flights – Toggle ‘Track Prices’ to get email alerts.

    🦘 Hopper – Predicts price trends & lets you ‘freeze’ fares for later.

    ✈️ Skyscanner – Compares prices across multiple airlines.

    🔔 Kayak – Tracks flights and hotel deals.

    🚨 Airfarewatchdog – Finds flash sales & mistake fares.

    🔥 Pro Tip: Set alerts for multiple airports nearby—sometimes, a short drive can save you hundreds! 🚗💰


    ⏳ Timing Is Everything!

    📅 Set alerts early:

    • Domestic flights – 2-3 months ahead.
    • International flights – 4-6 months ahead.

    📆 Midweek savings: Airlines release fares on Tuesdays & Wednesdays—track those days closely!

    🎯 Be flexible: Search for multiple dates & check Google Flights’ calendar view.

    ⚡ Act fast: When you get an alert, book quickly—prices bounce back fast!

    📢 Example: One of my listeners saved $350 on a flight to Paris by booking when a fare alert dropped overnight—that’s a round of croissants & wine paid for! 🥐🍷
