etting the most affordable airfare may be tricky, as proven by the query about the best time to book a flight, a top Google Search question in July. However, travelers who want to get the best deal without having to check the price for their desired flight periodically may now consider Traveloka's new ‘Price Alerts’ feature.
‘Price Alerts’ provides a convenient booking experience, where travelers do not need to monitor their options frequently. “What’s more, they will be the first to know the best time to book a flight, because they will get a notification once the price of their desired flight has either dropped or matches their budget,” explains Traveloka head of marketing Dannis Muhammad in a press release.

Travelers only need to sign in to the app to use the feature. After choosing ‘Price Alerts’ in the My Account menu, they need to fill in some details, such as the flight, alert type and frequency, before clicking the save button. Once it is set up, they will get alerts in form of emails or push notifications.
Launched in August this year, ‘Price Alerts’ has already helped numerous travelers for both domestic and international flight, especially those flying to Denpasar, Bali, or Singapore, as the top destinations. (asw)
