Signup for Airfare Alerts

Airfares are based on availability, and often times airlines only offer the lowest prices on a very limited number of seats. This means the best deals can disappear quickly. Receiving airfare deals in real-time gives you a better chance of jumping on a great price before it’s gone.

FareCompare When-to-Fly airfare alerts Twitter app delivers real-time airfare deal tweets from your city to destinations all over the world. The sign-up is easy:

You’ll need to have a Twitter account to receive our real-time airfare tweets. If you do not have an account, Twitter provides a walk-through for signing up for one (it’s fast and easy). Once you have a Twitter account, you’ll be ready to start following our When-to-Fly tweets .

Step 1: Go to the FareCompare When-to-Fly Twitter app. The app will automatically detect where you are, but if you do not see your home airport, simply select it as shown.

Step 2: Under the “Fly From” icon, click the “Follow” button. This will then take you to your city-specific Twitter feed (e.g. flyfromNYC, flyfromDFW, flyfromCHI). If you don’t already have a Twitter account, it’s easy to sign up. Once you’re signed up, you will begin receiving tweets for thousands of destinations worldwide.

Step 3: Watch the When-to-Fly deal tweets roll in: FareCompare tweets deals in real-time all day, every day.
