Price Drop Monitor

Overview

The Price Drop Monitor tracks fares on routes you care about and alerts you when prices fall. It goes beyond a basic alert — it tells you the airline's refund policy so you know whether to rebook, request a credit, or call for a fare difference refund.

How It Works

Add a route to your watch list (origin, destination, date range) and MileIntel starts tracking fares. When a drop of $20 or more is detected, you get a notification with the old price, new price, savings amount, and what action to take based on the airline's policy.

Airline Refund Policies

MileIntel stores refund policies for 15+ airlines. Some highlights:

• Southwest — Rebook anytime, difference goes to travel credit automatically.
• Delta — No change fees on main cabin and above. Rebook for a fare difference credit.
• United — No change fees on Economy and up. Basic Economy is non-refundable.
• American — No change fees except Basic Economy.

The monitor flags which policy applies to your specific ticket so you don't have to look it up.

Key Details

• Navigator: 3 monitored routes. Executive: 15. Black: unlimited.
• Monitors check prices multiple times per day.
• Minimum drop threshold is $20 to reduce noise.

Tips

1. Monitor both your booked route and alternatives — sometimes a different connection drops harder.
2. Set up push notifications for time-sensitive drops. Email can lag.
