Trip Alerts

Overview

The Alerts tab lets you see and manage every active notification watcher on a specific trip. Price drops, upgrade availability, delay warnings, gate changes — you control what MileIntel tells you about, and how.

Alert Types

Price drop alerts — active on all Booked trips by default. Triggers when the fare drops $20+ below your booking price. You'll get the new fare, savings amount, and airline-specific refund instructions if applicable.Upgrade availability — watches for open seats in a higher cabin. Configure in the Seats tab; the alert shows here. Fires when the upgrade cabin goes from full to available.Delay detection — triggers when your flight is delayed 15 minutes or more. Includes the new estimated time and, on higher plans, rebooking alternatives.Gate change — fires when the airline reassigns your departure gate. Shows old and new gate with terminal info.Cancellation — immediate alert if the airline cancels your flight. Includes customer service contacts and rebooking suggestions.

Managing Alerts

Each alert type has a toggle. Turn off what you don't need. You can also:

• Snooze — silence alerts on this trip for a set period (useful during long delays with frequent updates)
• Channel preference — choose push, email, or both on a per-alert basis
• Alerts respect your global quiet hours and notification preferences

Key Details

• Price drop and upgrade alerts require the trip to be in Booked stage
• Delay, gate change, and cancellation alerts are active from Check-in Open through In Flight
• Alert history is logged in the Timeline tab so you can see what was sent and when
• All plans get delay and gate change alerts; price drop and upgrade alerts are plan-dependent

Tips

1. Don't disable gate change alerts. Finding out at the airport that your gate moved 20 minutes ago is never fun.
2. If you're flexible on dates, create duplicate trips on alternative dates to compare price alert patterns.
