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, plus ongoing repricing on every booking. Repricing is Axel's price-drop protection: after you book, Axel keeps watching the fare, and when the price drops Axel works to deliver the further savings to you. Your first repricing is free; after that, repricing is included with Axel Membership. Axel is free to use. No membership is required to search, book, or get help from Axel, and your first repricing is free. The membership is for travelers who want member prices on what they book and repricing on every 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. Your first repricing is free; after that, repricing is included with Axel Membership.
- After you book, Axel keeps watching the fare for the same or a comparable ticket.
- When the price drops, Axel works to deliver the further savings to you, usually as airline credit and sometimes as a refund, depending on airline rules. Repricing is never guaranteed, and Axel never changes your itinerary without your approval.
Cancel anytime
You can cancel anytime from your settings. Cancelling stops future charges, and your membership runs through the period you already paid for.
