How to Register for Airfare Alerts

Instructions
1. Find a travel website that best suits your itinerary. If you are a loyal airline frequent flyer, you may choose to search for the lowest fares only from that particular airline's website.Other travel sites, such as Farecompare.com, compile data from multiple airlines and travel agencies and present you with many options.
2. Create an account on your chosen site. Log in and fill out dates and times, departure and arrival cities you are considering for your trip. Some websites allow an unlimited number of route requests, others have restrictions.
3. Modify your alert with filters to expand your options.For example, Bing.com/travel can predict when your fare is expected to increase or decline; and Yapta.com lets you know if your fare drops below what you paid for it and helps you get a refund or voucher for the cost difference.
4.
Alerts may be sent by text, email or social media.
Sign up for the mode of communication that attracts your attention most during the day. All sites offer to send alerts by email, and many will send you messages via SMS, Twitter or Facebook.Anecdotal accounts suggest that Twitter alerts, because they are in 'real time,' are received faster than e-mail.
