There's a program called IFTTT that would do this, but I'm not sure if it would violate the Section 4 of FT T&C's:
Any copying, aggregation, display, distribution, performance or derivative use of our sites and services or any content posted on our sites and services whether done directly or through intermediaries (including but not limited to by means of spiders, robots, crawlers, scrapers, framing, iframes or RSS feeds) is prohibited.
Could a moderator please clarify if it'd be okay to use an RSS alert tool like IFTTT for
a limited, personal use without any "copying (i.e. for publication or any of the other purposes that follow), aggregation, display, distribution, performance, or derivative use"?
I think it'd be a great way to sort deals by origin/destination and ultimately drive traffic back to Flyertalk.
I'm happy to discuss further via PM.
