FLIGHT FARE MONITORING · Workflow idea
For a traveler who has authorized fare tracking, check selected route prices on an agreed schedule, compare them with the saved fare baseline, and prepare an alert when a possible drop meets the chosen threshold. Fare data may be delayed or differ from the booked itinerary, so show provider and check time, protect booking and contact details, and confirm price, availability, baggage, and terms directly before a purchase or change. Keep any booking decision with the traveler.
01 / The starting point
A traveler-approved route, saved baseline fare, and current fare information
“Surface possible route price changes without presenting a quote as available or guaranteed.”
02 / The work
Helps a traveler monitor current fare information for selected routes and receive price-change alerts.
Check that the traveler approved the route and monitoring period.
Record the source, retrieval time, currency, route, and travel dates.
Use configured thresholds and flag non-equivalent fare conditions.
Make clear that availability and final pricing have not been guaranteed.
Let the traveler verify the seller’s terms and make the final decision.
03 / The result
A dated fare comparison and threshold alert with traveler review status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A dated fare comparison and threshold alert with traveler review status.
Displayed fares can change quickly and may exclude fees or differ from a traveler’s itinerary. Treat alerts as leads for further checking, minimize stored travel details, confirm price and conditions with the seller, and require traveler approval before booking or changing plans.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Store only necessary itinerary details for the agreed monitoring period.
Document currencies, fees, itinerary matching, and notification limits.
Show retrieval times and note that fares can change or be unavailable.
Require explicit approval before any booking, change, or external request.
