Okay one other thing since you mentioned this and I asked this question in another thread but didn't get a replay. You said you use google flights app. Do you use that on your phone?
So with this app, let say you know where you are traveling from and to and let say it will be within a 2 week time frame and it could be any day. Thus you want to get the lowest price possible if you can. Thus you don't care if what day it is but as long as it's within a 2 week time frame that you choose. I normally check orbtiz for each day during that 2 week time frame and have to manually check each day when checking the prices. I do this a few times a day to see if there is any price changes. So if there is a good low price, I would want to lock up the price as you put it if booking with jetblue blue or the main cabin with the other carriers. So many days, the price would stay the same or go up or lower. The only way is I manually check the prices and this takes time because I have to click on each day, then the next and do it for the next 2 weeks. Would google flights be able to give me notification on my phone anytime there is a price change on those flights I choose and it's the same 2 destinations to and from and picking a 2 week time frame? Like I get a notification each time of any price change regardless Like okay for this date in your 2 week filter, the cost has went from say $300 to $250. Or it could be from $300 to $305. Can this app do that?
I am getting tired of using orbitz for checking prices but it's a lot faster than checking manually on jetblue, delta and american since orbitz gives you a completely summary. I would of course book the flight directly on jetblue or delta or american like most people though. So is google flights the app I want here? Also could you filter it to where it's only nonstop flights? Or you have to manually pick the flights you want notifications for?
I use the website. It is pretty similar in Chrome whether on a computer or a phone. You can save a search so it alerts you when the price changes and you can access it with a single click. If you don't want to do even that, you can just bookmark it and it will work. It will alert for any price change I think over 5%. It alerted me when a $620 ticket dropped down to $580 a few months ago, and I canceled and rebooked using the credit from the canceled ticket. This was not on JetBlue.
This would be a great question for the
