Flight Deal Alerts
Book Before the Price Goes Back Up
Flight deal alerts do the searching for you, so you're notified the moment fares drop on your routes, not hours later when the deal is gone.
How flight deal alerts work
Set It Once, Save Every Time
Flight price alerts monitor your target routes continuously, notifying you by email or app notification the moment a fare drops to or below your target price. No more checking manually every day.
Choose Your Route
Select your origin and destination, or set up an open-destination alert if you're flexible on where to go. You can set alerts for specific dates or entire months at once.
Set Your Target Price
Enter the price you want to pay. The system monitors that route 24/7 and only notifies you when fares drop to your target or below, filtering out noise and keeping alerts relevant.
Get Alerted Instantly
The moment a fare hits your target, you receive an email or push notification with a direct link to book. No need to check manually, the alert finds the deal and brings it to you.
Book Before It Disappears
Good fares, especially mistake fares and flash sales, can vanish in hours. The alert gives you first-mover advantage so you book at the lowest price before the window closes.
Types of flight deal alerts
Four Kinds of Fare Alerts to Set Up
Set up all four alert types and you'll catch deals across every kind of price drop, from planned travel to spontaneous trips.
Specific Route Alerts
Monitor a fixed origin-destination pair. Ideal if you travel the same routes regularly, like a home-to-family route you fly multiple times a year.
Open Destination Alerts
Set your origin and let the alert find the cheapest destination available. Perfect for flexible travelers who just want to go somewhere cheap on a given set of dates.
Flexible Date Alerts
Monitor a route across a range of dates or an entire month. The alert flags the single cheapest window to fly, letting you shift your dates by a day or two to save significantly.
Mistake Fare Alerts
The most valuable type. Monitors for unusually dramatic price drops that signal a pricing error, the kind of 70-90% discounts that disappear within hours of appearing.

Pro tips
Making Flight Deal Alerts Work Harder
Simple habits that let you catch more deals and miss fewer opportunities.
Set Alerts on Multiple Routes
Don't limit alerts to one route. Set up alerts on every destination you'd realistically visit, the cheapest option often isn't the one you were planning on.
Act Within the Hour
When a flight deal alert arrives, treat it like a time-sensitive notification. Great fares, especially mistake fares, can be gone within hours. Check your phone alerts regularly when you have active travel plans.
Set Your Target Price Below Normal
Don't set alerts at the current fare price, set them 20-30% below the normal range for your route. This filters out routine fluctuations and flags only genuinely below-market deals.
Use the Pricing Calendar to Benchmark
Before setting alert thresholds, check the Aviasales pricing calendar to understand the normal fare range for your route. This helps you set a target price that's realistically achievable, not too low to ever trigger.
Combine Alerts with Newsletter Deals
Flight deal alert tools and newsletter services like FareFinderAI catch different kinds of opportunities. Newsletter deals often include curated mistake fares and flash sales that algorithm-based alerts miss.
Don't Ignore Open Destination Alerts
Open destination alerts consistently surface the cheapest available fares from your origin, and flexible travelers often discover destinations they wouldn't have considered that turn out to be perfect trip options.
