Axel Membership
Updated
Axel Membership is optional. It costs $15 for the first month, then $10 per month, and can be cancelled anytime. Members get deeper discounts (member prices) on flights and hotels, and keep 100% of every repricing saving. Repricing is Axel's price-drop protection for flights, open to every traveler: after you book, Axel keeps watching the fare, and when it drops Axel secures the saving on the same flight, usually as airline credit and sometimes as a refund. It is never guaranteed. Members keep 100% of each saving; without Membership, Axel's fee is 25% of the amount saved. Axel is free to use. No membership is required to search, book, or get help from Axel. The membership is for travelers who want member prices on what they book and the full saving when a fare drops after booking. Before you join, flight and hotel results show the member price next to the regular price, so you can see the difference first, and one membership covers everyone on your booking, not just you. After you book, each booking shows what you saved. Axel customers save $428 per year on average.

How repricing works
- Book a flight with Axel. Repricing is open to every traveler: Members keep 100% of each saving, and without Membership Axel's fee is 25% of the amount saved.
- After you book, Axel keeps watching the fare for the same flight.
- When the price drops, Axel secures the saving, usually as airline credit and sometimes as a refund, depending on airline rules. Repricing is never guaranteed, and it never changes your itinerary: the saving is applied to the same flight.
Cancel anytime
You can cancel anytime from your settings. Cancelling stops future charges, and your membership runs through the period you already paid for.
