Price Alerts
Monitor a route for price drops and get notified by email, push, or SMS when fares fall below your threshold.
Overview
Price alerts watch a specific route for fare drops. Set a route, optionally set a target price, and MileIntel checks fares throughout the day. When the price drops — either below your target or by $20+ from the last check — you get notified on your chosen channel.
Setting Up a Price Alert
From search results or any trip, tap Watch Price. Configure:
- Route — Origin and destination airports.
- Date range — Specific dates or a flexible window (e.g., "any weekend in April").
- Target price (optional) — Only alert when the fare drops below this amount.
- Cabin class — Economy, premium economy, business, or first.
- Notification channel — Email, push notification, or SMS.
How Monitoring Works
MileIntel checks fares multiple times per day. When a significant drop is detected, the alert fires with the old price, new price, airline, and a direct link to book. If you set a target price, you'll only hear from us when fares hit that number.
What You Get in the Notification
Every price alert includes: route, dates, airline, old fare, new fare, savings amount, cabin class, and a booking link. If you've already booked this route, the alert also includes the airline's refund/rebooking policy.
Key Details
- Navigator: 3 active price alerts. Executive: 15. Black: unlimited.
- Minimum drop threshold is $20 to avoid noise from minor fluctuations.
- Alerts fire once per price level — you won't get spammed if the price stays low.
Tips
- Set flexible date ranges for the best results. A Tuesday departure might be $200 cheaper than Friday.
- Combine with the Price Drop Monitor on booked trips for complete coverage.
