How Do Flight Price Alerts Work?

Axel can watch flight prices before you book and after you book. Before booking, Axel can help you track flights you are interested in. After booking, Axel can watch for eligible repricing opportunities and try to help you get money back when airline rules allow it.

Price Tracking Before You Book

Flight prices move constantly. If you are not ready to book yet, Axel can help track flights you are considering.

That means you do not have to keep reopening the same route, checking the same dates, and wondering whether the price changed while you were busy.

Axel can keep the trip in context and help you move when the price looks right.

Price Monitoring After You Book

Axel can also keep watching after booking.

For eligible flights, if the price drops after you book, Axel can attempt repricing. Repricing means trying to recover the difference between what you paid and what the airline is now selling the same or comparable fare for.

Airline rules vary, and outcomes depend on airline acceptance, so repricing is not guaranteed. But Axel can keep looking for opportunities in the background.

How Axel Lets You Know

Axel can notify users through:

• SMS, when opted in
• email
• chat

SMS is often the fastest and most useful channel because flight prices can move quickly.

What Axel Can Promise

Axel can promise to help track the market and attempt eligible repricing opportunities when possible.

Axel should not promise that every flight will drop, every request will be accepted, or every booking will receive money back.
