How does Trip Manta price protection work?

Forward your airline confirmation email to add@tripmanta.com. Trip Manta imports the booking, monitors the price, and works to secure an eligible flight credit or refund if the fare drops and airline rules permit.

How much does Trip Manta charge?

Trip Manta charges only after a flight credit or refund is successfully recovered. The current success fee is 10% of the recovered amount; the standard fee is 20%.

Are Basic Economy tickets eligible?

Basic Economy tickets are excluded because airlines generally do not offer price-drop credits on those fares.

Already booked? An eligible price drop can still become a credit or refund.

Forward the airline confirmation email. Trip Manta tracks the fare and works with the airline to pursue a credit or refund if the price drops and the fare rules permit. Many non-refundable Main Cabin tickets qualify.
