24/7 airfare tracking
Airfare alerts for the exact flight you want
Trip Manta turns an exact itinerary into an airline price-drop alert: choose the decrease that matters, let the tracker watch the fare 24/7, and get an instant email after a qualifying change is confirmed. Eligible bookings can keep being monitored after purchase for a possible airline credit or refund.
Free: 1 hourly tracker and up to 5 active flights. No app required.

Before booking
Wait without refreshing the same search
- 1. Pick the itinerary. Search your route and dates, then track the flight or filtered result you care about.
- 2. Set the threshold. Choose the minimum dollar decrease worth an email.
- 3. Act on the details. The alert shows the prior fare, new fare, savings, itinerary, and check time.
After booking
A lower fare can still matter
- 1. Forward the confirmation. Send an eligible airline receipt to add@tripmanta.com.
- 2. We monitor the booked trip. Your reservation stays unchanged while the fare is checked.
- 3. We pursue the difference. When fare rules permit, Trip Manta works to secure a flight credit or refund.
Trip Manta and Google Flights
Use the right tool for each part of the trip
Google Flights is the stronger discovery tool. Trip Manta is the more focused monitoring and post-booking tool. Many travelers can use both.
| Need | Google Flights | Trip Manta |
|---|---|---|
| Explore destinations and flexible dates | Excellent Explore, calendar, and price-insight tools | Designed for searches you already care about |
| Monitoring | Price-change alerts; no public general cadence | 24/7 tracking; active checks are scheduled every hour |
| Alert threshold | No user-set dollar threshold documented | Choose the minimum dollar decrease |
| After booking | Not part of general price alerts | Hands-on recovery for eligible supported-airline fares |

Price protection, with the fine print up front
Main Cabin or economy fares can qualify when the airline fare rules allow a credit or refund. Many non-refundable tickets qualify.
Trip Manta never changes or cancels your itinerary. The current fee is 10% of a successfully recovered credit or refund; the standard fee is 20%. There is no fee when nothing is recovered.

Flight price alert FAQs
What is an airfare price-drop alert?
An airfare price-drop alert is a notification sent after a monitored fare falls by a meaningful amount. Trip Manta lets you choose the dollar threshold for an exact flight and emails the previous price, current price, savings, itinerary, and check time after the decrease is confirmed.
How do Trip Manta flight price alerts work?
Search for an itinerary, choose Track, and set the minimum price drop you care about. Trip Manta watches it 24/7 and sends an instant email after a qualifying decrease is confirmed.
Are Trip Manta flight price alerts free?
Yes. The free plan supports up to 5 active flight trackers, with 1 flight checked hourly. Pro costs $9.99 per month and includes unlimited active hourly trackers.
How are these alerts different from Google Flights?
Google Flights is stronger for broad research, flexible dates, Explore, and historical pricing guidance. Trip Manta is built to watch the exact flight you want 24/7, send an instant email after a qualifying drop is confirmed, let you choose a dollar threshold, and keep helping after an eligible booking.
Can Trip Manta monitor a flight after I book?
Yes. Forward an eligible airline confirmation to Trip Manta. We monitor the booked itinerary and, if the price drops and the fare rules allow it, pursue a flight credit or refund without changing or canceling the reservation.
Can a non-refundable ticket qualify for price protection?
Many non-refundable Main Cabin or economy tickets can qualify because some airlines permit a fare-difference credit. Eligibility depends on the airline and fare rules. Basic Economy and points or award bookings are excluded.
