Pick a tracker by how fixed your trip is

Price tracking with AI comes in three kinds. An alert watches one route and dates and tells you when the fare changes. A forecast estimates whether that fare is likely to rise or fall, so you can decide when to buy. A deal watcher starts from where you fly from, or a loose idea of the trip, and flags fares that are low for the route. Award trackers do the same for seats you pay for with points.

Not sure which kind you need? If you would book today at the right price, set an alert. If you are weighing whether to wait, add a forecast. If you would go anywhere for a cheap enough fare, use a deal watcher.

Set a price alert by chatting with Google’s AI Mode

Since 27 August 2026, AI Mode in Google Search can set up a Google Flights price alert while you chat, so you do not fill in a form.

  1. Describe the trip in AI Mode. Give the route and the dates you want, as you would to a travel agent.
  2. Ask it to track the price. AI Mode sets up a Google Flights price alert for that route and those dates.
  3. Watch your email. Google emails you when the fare for your chosen route and dates changes.
  4. Buy on the airline’s site or a booking site. AI Mode does not sell the ticket.

Google says flight price tracking in AI Mode is available in more than 180 countries and territories, but not in the EEA. And the alert covers the destination and dates you chose, not open-ended deal hunting; for that, see the deal watchers below. Google’s announcement does not say whether you need to be signed in, though alerts arrive by email, or whether price tracking is available in the Google app on iPhone and Android.

AI Mode can also show what some flights and hotels cost in points. At launch that covered Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Choice Hotels, Hilton and Wyndham, with Accor, Flying Blue, Hyatt, LATAM and Lufthansa Group announced as coming. Google’s AI travel tools covers the rest of what Gemini and AI Mode do for trips.

Get a buy-now-or-wait forecast

An alert tells you a price moved. A forecast tries to tell you which way it will move next. Two listed tools do this for a route and dates you enter.

AirHint says it trains separate machine-learning models (neural networks) for individual airlines on past fare changes. For your route and dates it shows a recommendation with a confidence level, a price range and the probability of a price drop. Dedicated predictors cover about 40 airlines, and AirHint says accuracy depends on the airline and flight; it suits fixed dates on a supported airline, especially low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, easyJet or Wizz Air. With a free account and a verified email you can set price alerts by email or app notification, on the web, iPhone or Android (the Android app contains ads, per its Google Play listing). AirHint does not sell tickets: it links you to airlines and travel agents.

AirTrackBot gives a short-term outlook on the fare, with a buy-now-or-wait recommendation and a confidence score from 1 to 100. It says the forecast weighs days until departure, today’s price against the route’s typical range, seasonal and calendar patterns, demand and budget-airline availability. Email price alerts are free, and its Telegram bot offers search, predictions and price-change alerts in a chat. AirTrackBot describes the forecast both as AI and as statistical analysis and does not name the kind of model. You complete the booking with a third-party booking provider, which then handles changes and refunds.

AirHint vs AirTrackBot sets the two side by side.

How to read a forecast

  • It is an estimate. AirHint’s terms call its predictions statistical estimates, not guarantees, and AirTrackBot says any forecast based on historical data can be wrong.
  • Look at the confidence, not just the verdict. Both tools show how sure the model is. Read a low score as the model not being strongly committed to its verdict.
  • Keep an alert running if you wait. A forecast is a snapshot; an alert tells you when the fare actually moves.
  • AirTrackBot’s outlook is short-term. It is not a promise of the lowest fare before departure.
  • Paying for more checks does not change the call. AirHint says its paid Priority Alert only checks that price more often.

Watch for deals when the trip is still open

If you are flexible on where or when, watching one flight is the wrong tool. These start from a loose request or your home airport.

Google Flights Flight Deals is an experimental beta. You describe roughly where, when and how you want to travel, and its AI suggests destinations and dates, then pulls live Google Flights fares. Google defines a route’s typical price as the median of the cheapest prices over the past 12 months, and gives its Savings Deals badge only to fares at least 20% below that; other results are simply among the cheapest for your search. It launched in the US, Canada and India in August 2025, and in November 2025 Google said it had started rolling out to more than 200 countries and territories.

Pax by FlightHub asks for your departure city and email, checks fares daily and emails the deals it rates worth booking once a week. FlightHub says Pax runs on a pricing model trained on millions of real fare movements. It covers only a select number of Canadian airports, and one email a week means a short-lived fare can be gone before you see it.

Skyscanner’s Search with AI takes a request such as cheap flights to Japan in December and suggests destinations with live fares. It is a beta in English-speaking markets, and Skyscanner says results are for guidance only. It finds ideas rather than tracking a price: Skyscanner’s Drops fare alerts are a separate feature that is not described as AI, so they are not covered here.

Track award seats paid with points

Award seats open and close at short notice, so these tools watch availability rather than cash fares. Neither books: you redeem the seats with the airline’s loyalty programme yourself.

  • Award Travel Finder runs award searches from its own web chat, or from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor as a connector, and checks your routes every 6 hours, emailing you when seats open. The free plan includes 3 economy searches a day and 1 alert; Premium (US$9.99 a month, or US$6.67 a month billed yearly) unlocks unlimited searches, all cabins, unlimited route alerts and connected accounts. Live search covers about 12 airline programmes, and web chat messages run on an included allowance, then credits or your own Claude or OpenAI key.
  • AwardClaw watches saver-level business and first class award space from major US and Canadian hubs, and alerts you only when a complete round trip is bookable. Its alerts focus on international long-haul round trips of 5 to 20 days for two or more seats. The free plan gets previews and a daily briefing; paid plans add real-time alerts and more departure cities: Pro is US$5 a month billed annually, or US$6 month to month, and Pro+ (US$10 a month billed annually, US$120 a year) adds SMS alerts, first class and access from Claude, ChatGPT or an API.

Before you buy

Check who sells the ticket before you pay. The Google tools, Skyscanner, AirHint and AirTrackBot link you to an airline, travel agent or booking site; the award tools leave you to redeem seats with the loyalty programme; FlightHub does not say how Pax deals are booked. Whoever takes your payment sets the change and refund rules, so check whether you are buying from the airline or an intermediary. Which AI travel tools actually book? sorts every listed tool by who completes the booking.

Some well-known fare predictors are not here. Hopper’s Price Prediction is not listed because no current Hopper page describes it as AI or machine learning, and KAYAK’s price forecast is left out for the same reason. The guide to AI flight deals and price predictors compares every listed flight tool by situation. How we research explains how each listing is checked against the provider’s own pages, and the editorial policy covers what the site will and will not claim. None of these tools were tested hands-on for this page.

Common questions

Does Google Flights have an AI price tracker?

Since 27 August 2026 you can ask Google's AI Mode in Search to track a flight, and it sets up a Google Flights price alert for that route and those dates, sent by email. Google says this works in more than 180 countries and territories, but not in the EEA. Separately, Flight Deals, a beta page inside Google Flights, uses AI to suggest destinations and dates with live fares, and gives a Savings Deals badge to fares at least 20% below the route's typical price; the Google Flights Flight Deals listing has the details.

Can AI tell me the best time to buy a flight?

It can give you an estimate for one route. AirHint says whether to buy now or wait, with a confidence level and the probability of a price drop, and AirTrackBot gives a short-term outlook with a confidence score from 1 to 100. Neither promises it: AirHint's terms say a fare it expects to fall may rise, and AirTrackBot says any forecast based on historical data can be wrong.

Is AirHint free?

Yes. AirHint's predictions, flight search and price alerts are free; alerts need a free account with a verified email address. For travellers on the website and apps, the only paid option is Priority Alert, a one-off in-app purchase for a single alert (US$3.99 on the US App Store) that checks that price more often. AirHint says it does not improve the prediction.

Can I track flight prices on Telegram?

Yes, with AirTrackBot. Its Telegram bot offers flight search, fare predictions and price-change alerts, as its website does. AirTrackBot's FAQ says search and alerts are free (the Telegram page itself does not state a charge), and you finish booking with a third-party booking provider.

Does AI Mode flight price tracking work in Europe?

Not in the EEA, which Google excludes. Google says the feature is available in more than 180 countries and territories, excluding the EEA. AirHint and AirTrackBot also send fare alerts; AirHint's listing records no EEA exclusion, and AirTrackBot does not state which countries it supports.
