“Next time you’re on a flight enjoying your honey-roasted peanuts, ponder this: The average flight price fluctuates 400%. In other words, the guy next to you may have paid hundreds of dollars less for his ticket than you paid for yours. How can you avoid paying too much? Use Yapta.

Yapta was created to make it easy for you to find the best flight at the right price. They do this by helping you find flights based on your personal preferences, tracking prices on these trips, and alerting you when prices drop so that you can purchase tickets when they’re most affordable. They also alert you when award seats become available and you can use your frequent flier miles to book a flight.

Even after you purchase your ticket, Yapta continues to track its price. If the price drops below what you paid, and you’re eligible for a refund or travel credit from the airline, Yapta can help you claim it.

Yapta was launched in May 2007 and has since helped its members save millions of dollars on airfare.”

The widget below only covers US destinations but go to Yapta to search all airports. Yapta is particularly good for US domestic and international flights. It doesn’t work so well for internal flights in Europe as they are not hooked up with the budget airlines. I love this web page, give it a try, you’ll be suprised about the savings you can make.
