Did I sign up for the wrong kind of alert? Why am I getting all these extra fares?

Posted by Tracy Stewart on Monday, June 15, 2009

Q. When I signed up to receive fare alerts, I thought I'd only be receiving updates about the particular destination I'm interested in. Instead of getting info on flights from Portland to Lihue, I'm getting fares to everywhere else from Portland, and from everywhere else to Lihue. Not useful to me.

Have a somehow subscribed to your service improperly? Please advise.

A. Sounds like you signed up for a Departure CIty alert from Portland, and an Arrival City alert to Lihue, when all you really wanted to sign up for was a City-to-City Alert between Portland and Lihue.

Remember, we have three different types of alerts. The City-to-City is route specific. The Departure City alert, which is a list of all the fares for travel from the chosen city.  The Arrival City alert, which is a list of fares for travel to a chosen city.

I'm looking and want to be alerted on a 1 way flight and keep getting alerts on a r/t flights, is this possible?

Been signed up for fare alerts and was happy to make my reservation at the lowest. It took a while for the fare rollercoaster ride to settle down. It occurs to me that the airlines raised the prices for my destination (London) between $200 and $300 before they went on "sale" for a fare that is what it was before they inflated the cost. My imagination - or is this the game they play?

My problem is annoying - I signed up for alerts from New York and get JFK, EWR, LGA. Fine. But I also get Westchester & New Haven. My alert is long and I'd like to cut it down.

SERCHING FOR FLIGHTS TO GO TO TUCSON ARIZONA IN DECEMBER FROM CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS

Renee, KAYE and gimom58, you probably won't get responses to your questions by commenting on someone else's inquiry. You're better off submitting a question of your own directly to the site, instead of as a comment to someone else's question.

HOW TO FLY 13 YEAR OLD ALONE WITHOUT PAYING EXTRA FEE?
by KAYE on Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Recently my 13 yr old son flew to Portland via Northwest/Delta and I was shocked to find out that I had to pay $100 to have him fly without a adult. This is double what I paid last summer. So my question is, can I fly him without paying this outrageous fee. I'm sure he can walk from one gate to the next without assistance.
