Most of the online travel sites, like Yahoo, Expedia and Orbitz offer email triggers when a fare drops below a certain level, but the triggers seem to only work for coach class, or are class independant (trigger off the fare regardless of class)
Does anyone know of a site that can monitor first or business fares between specified city pairs and email/page an alert when a certain number is reached? It would make it much easier finding those low price paid FC mileage runs
If such a site does not exist, perhaps we can gather a petition from FTers to present to Orbitz or Expedia and ask they try and work that functionality into their system...I can't see it being that difficult to do
This sounds like a great idea to me. As far as I know there is nothing that monitors F and J fares.

After spending the weekend in DC and trying to drive with all that slippery wide powder stuff (what is that stuff anyway? :) ) all over the place, it's almost balmy down here. Tonight they are forecasting wind chills down to the 20s...I guess there go the Palm tree, Hibiscus, Shell Ginger and Awapuhi plants on my balcony :( mcdonnell douglas | 1976 | 2671 | Flight Archive:: The lata executive committee now has to consider the approach to what is seen as a three-class market: first- class, business travel and holiday/VFR. http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1976/1976 - 2671.htmlHOME |
I wonder if it's possible for Flyertalk to develop a value-add system to monitor fares and deals for us...something the community might be able to subscribe to for a reasonable fee....perhaps throwing in extra things like availability checks and seat maps.

I don't think it's as easy as one might envision.
First of all, discounted premium cabin fliers are a relatively small niche. Low fare alerts for these fares would be limited to narrow range of flyers (hm, like FTers). ;)
Second, .. not to get into confusing database-geek details but adding another parameter would greatly increase resources being used.
