I already use Skyscanner and Google Flights to get notifications sent to me about future flight prices; but I'm wondering if there are other sites that I'm unaware of that my fellow Canadian travelers use.
Please let me know if you have any other favourites!
Flight prices are quite a bit higher for this year, so anything to save a bit of cash and time.
Thank you.
I only fly Air Canada through YYZ so I'm checking the options for pretty select time periods - don't need any 3rd party tracking.
Thank you, but I’m not asking about booking flights, I’m asking about sites that track flight prices and being notified of changes in prices.
I never book with a third party, but always directly with the airlines.
All flight search platforms use the same databases provided by mainly 3 GDS air travel systems: Sabre, Travelport and Amadeus.
(Skyscanner uses Amadeus, Google does not specify which one it uses)
So apart from the ergonomics of the website, a few sorting options or email notifications, you will theoretically have the same results with all these flight search services (except that some have commercial partnerships highlighting a particular flight or booking method rather than another)
Have you followed Chris Myden? He has YYC travel deals as well as YVR deals? You can follow on facebook, or he has a website. I'm not sure where in Western Canada you are, but I suspect if there is a deal from Calgary ,there may be a similar in other WEstern cities.
Thanks, I forgot about Chris Myden!
I’ve actually taken two trips with very cheap flights that I found on that site about 8 years ago.
I don't know of any flight price tracking websites, as I prefer to work out those details myself. I usually fly Air Canada to Europe and look for the best routing and fewest layovers. Higher prices seem to be the case this year due to a variety of factors. Once I find the flights that I want, I book them and just accept the cost as part of the holiday cost.
