Low airfare alerts

[Dogbowl]

Let’s say I know where I want to go and am flexible with dates. Is there a search engine/airfare alert/notification that can provide me with low airfares between 2 locations? I know there are options for if I know the exact dates I want to travel (eg. Google Flights), but what if I don’t know the dates and want to travel only when the airfare is really low?

For example, I want to go to Cozumel from Toronto but only want to travel when fares are under $600. Is there such a thing?

Another complication: my home airport is YYZ (Toronto, Canada). I’ve found some for major cities in the US but not for YYZ. Does anyone know of any?

Have you paged 'Dandy Don' ?

 

[Dogbowl]

No...I didn’t.

Here goes @DandyDon please help!

It’s not just YYZ-CZM, I’m also interested in Jakarta, Denpasar, Manila, Palau, etc. The usual suspects.

I don’t know of such thing but I currently use the Hopper app and twitter push notifications for every tweet Secret Flying and The Flight Deal makes. It’s how I’ve traveled round trip from San Francisco to Cancun for $190, Sydney for $580, Bali for $369, Costa Rica for $330, Bahamas for $340, etc.

Kayak.com has a watchlist feature you might check out. It used to allow you to set specific things like a price drop of a certain amount on a route or desired fare; now it doesn't let you specify too much of anything so exactly what it is watching for now, I'm not sure.

I've been using skyscanner but not familiar enough with it to know if it can do what you want it to do.

^ Thanks, had not heard of that. It's going to help me on my next diving destination.

www.skyscanner.net offers that

Edit: Sorry. I didn't read the whole message. if you know the exact location and dates skyscanner can help. With flexible dates I kind of doubt it - I've never seen that anywhere.

Some of he airlines have a checkbox "my dates are flexible" and they show fares over a month. You can advance or go back month by month. I pretty much quit depending on travel search engines because I almost always do better going straight to the airline website.

If you know where you want to go, ITA Matrix is very powerful especially if you want to look at flexible dates over a range of nights.

I thought of you this morning! You may not want to dive here but it’s kind of around your price ceiling.

- Toronto, Canada to Venice, Italy for only $613 CAD roundtrip
