Hi Everyone,
I always use Kayak to set up daily price alerts, leaving from LAX, to anywhere in the US (leaving anytime). I'm just waiting for a good deal to do a MR on Delta.
Unfortunately I have not found an app or a website where you can specify the AIRLINE. (Because it just takes a lot of time to go through the many price alerts every day, and 90% are not on Delta.)
Does anybody know if there is a website or how to do it?
(Not necessarily Delta only.)
Thanks in advance :)

I don't have an answer to your question, but your post has inspired me. I use Kayak to look for specific flight information, but never thought to use it daily, as you have described. How do you go about making a daily price alert from specific airports? Very cool idea!
Yes. That's a question. :)

Was that a question? I'll answer it anyway :-)
It's easiest to download the Kayak app to your iPhone. Under 'Price Alerts' you can specify airports, dates, class of travel etc. and they will send you daily push notifications to your phone. If only you could specify the airline ...

Kayak on my phone is a given. Saved me from sitting in an airport for hours on end when I could be visiting friends. I've put it on daily for lowest fair and from IAD (to try it out), but can't figure out how to leave the "to" blank. What am I doing incorrectly?
PS... and I edited the punctuation from OP. Thanks. :)

Here's another question:
Shouldn't the thread title have a question mark?

When I click on 'Create a fare alert', it shows 3 options:
Exact date, Lowest fare, Top Cities.
Choose 'Top Cities' and select 'United States'. (You could also choose Europe, World Cities etc.)^

Love it! Very cool to know.
...but you're correct. Being able to indicate a specific airline would be helpful, as would being able to indicate a general time frame.
Thanks for the idea and assistance.
I use Kayak all the time for alerts for specific trips at specific times. I also like their scales showing fares over the last few months and trends. If I am trying to find the best fare from an area involving more than one city (ie. SJC and SFO to DCA or IAD), then I have to 4 alerts. It doesn't handle specific airlines (or at least I've not found how to do it), but Kayak has been very useful.

I'm not sure if you saw it, but you can choose between 'Upcoming weekends', 'August', 'September' etc.

I didn't, but just checked it out. Amazing little app.

This is very handy, I also would love sort by specific airline and sort by price...CPM would be even better.
