Hello FTalkers. Is there particular site that you all would recommend that will:

1- Enter my home city and multiple destination's (10-15 or so)
2- Send me one daily email that does a check of all these destinations and sends me the fare quotes

I am trying to capture a lot of these fares that I have seen lately that are around for a day (or even a couple of hours) that are really, really cheap.

I have a long list o places that I would like to go but I keep missing the deals. I have noticed that sometimes these fares are even mis loads that the airline may honor for a short period of time. I even missed the NWA $247 to Hawaii RT a few weeks ago. They stopped honoring it just before I tried to book. Several FT's claimed they got it however. Any ideas on a particular site or service. I am trying to keep from having 10-20 emails a day from various services. Thanks,
Klarity7

P.S. Is there is a better place in FT that this may reside please let me know.

MyYahoo! at Yahoo.com

You can have a customized page, with the Best Fare Tracker feature.

Just set it as the home page on your browser.

I don't think it would send you a daily email though.

This looks pretty good. I set it up however it certain cites show up as NA sometimes. All in all not bad. Any other sites that you have found useful?

The problem with that strategy is that fares can change several times a day (I think it's 4 times a day during the week, and twice on weekends), so one e-mail a day may cause you to miss the sales, depending which feed it is generated from.

You might do better checking: http://www.farecompare.com after the fares are updated throughout the day. Also look at: http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/, and on weekdays: http://www.air-fare.com/

Kayak will let you sign up for as many city pairs as you would like and send the update in one email/once a day.

Thanks! These and the Kayak ones have been very helpful. A good reference in FT is a Sticky in the Mileage Run forum HERE! (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312559)

Hope this helps some of you!
