Fare Alerts
Is there a product out there that will alert me to changes in the fares for a particular routing. The route I'm interested in is OSL-FRA-SIN-AKL in business class towards the end of the year with a 4 month validity. The cheapest fare I found for early this year was when I searched in early November 2018 for a mid January 2019 departure and that was about 1980 I think, looking at that routing from 1st October 2019 it is yielding a fare of about 3600. I don't know whether the 1980 fare was a "special" or not but it's what both ITA Matrix and Google Flights were returning. All I'm trying to do is try and judge when the fares will be at their optimum without going in every day/week and searching. Will Expert Flyer do something like this?

Yes, that's my usual routing with Cathay but this November I need to be in Singapore mid month and I don't really want to do ARN-LHR-HKG-SIN-HKG-AKL and would rather do Ex-EU to SIN then on to AKL, the routing back can be flexible though but that won't be until March-April 2020. I think I will have to wait until late April/early May to do the searches though as the fares that far out are not loaded before then.
