Cha-ching! Nothing like the sound of money back in your pocket. With Fare Tracker, TripIt Pro monitors your itinerary for ongoing changes in your flight price. If your airfare price drops after you book, we’ll send you an alert. You'll be notified if a potential airline credit or refund is available to get money back on your flight. 

With Fare Tracker, your TripIt Pro membership might pay for itself!

What is Fare Tracker?

Fare Tracker is a TripIt Pro feature that monitors your flight itineraries for fare reductions. 

For U.S. itineraries, TripIt Pro monitors your flights for ongoing changes in price. If we find a lower fare, we’ll send you an email, SMS text, or push notification when a potential airline credit or refund may be available. 

How does Fare Tracker work?

For airlines that typically allow refunds or credits, we'll notify you when we find a lower economy-class, non-refundable fare for your reservation.

All decisions on credits and refunds are made by the airline or travel agency as further restrictions may apply. As airfares change rapidly, we suggest contacting your travel agency or airline as soon as you receive a fare reduction alert. 

If you receive a refund or credit from the airline or travel agency, just update the total price within your TripIt itinerary and we’ll resume monitoring your reservation for even lower fares. 

We currently track refunds for:

  • Alaska Airlines (AS)
  • American Airlines (AA)
  • Delta (DL)
  • Frontier (F9)
  • Hawaiian Airlines (HA)
  • Jetblue (B6)
  • Southwest (WN)
  • United Airlines (UA)

I’m not seeing alerts from Fare Tracker. What can I do? 

To ensure that your itinerary can be monitored for price changes, double-check the following:

  • At least one traveler on the trip is a TripIt Pro subscriber. 
  • It’s 100 days or fewer until your departure date. That’s when we begin tracking your fare.
  • Your reservation(s) have origins, connections, and destinations within the U.S. Only these types of itineraries will be tracked.
  • Your TripIt itinerary includes the total price you paid for your flight—and in USD.
  • Your details are current. If the airline sent you a schedule change, be sure to send your updated itinerary to plans@tripit.com.
