Kayak.com, the largest Travel 2.0 in the world, has improved its infamous Fare Alerts system to help savvy travelers track fares on all destinations around the globe.
Now, users can track fares for a specific date or monitor the best prices for a timeframe such as an upcoming weekend or a given month. The new Fare Alerts email will also include the following:
- Dollar amount that a fare has increased or decreased since the alert was created
- Best Fare Trend Graph which displays airfare history for the requested route based on searches by Kayakers over the past 90 days
- Snapshot of prices in Kayak.com’s matrix view which enables users to quickly compare prices by carrier and number of stops
- Ability to search for updated prices and availability, edit the alert or delete the alert.
One of the exciting features of this travel search engine is its Trip Idea intended for users who do not have specific destination to go to. Some of its popular categories include “Best Nude Beachesâ€, “Most Romantic Citiesâ€, and “World’s Sexiest Islandsâ€.
