Flight Price Alerts

We don’t run our own alert emails — we don’t collect email addresses at all. Google Flights price tracking does the job for free, and our route pages tell you what a realistic target is.

Set a free alert on Google Flights

Google checks the route daily and emails you when the fare moves. It covers the same airlines and booking sites we compare, including Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 and Wizz Air.

Search your route and dates on Google Flights, then switch on Track prices just above the results. You can track specific dates or “any dates” for the next few months, and you cancel from the same switch or from the email.

Tips for the best results

Small adjustments massively change how often you’ll get a useful alert.

Use broad origins

Track “London” rather than one airport — Stansted and Luton are usually where the lowest short-haul fares appear. The same applies to Manchester and Liverpool.

Track “any dates” when you’re flexible

Fixed-date alerts only fire when those exact days drop. Flexible tracking catches the cheap Tuesday and Wednesday departures that fixed dates miss.

Book inside the window

Short-haul fares are usually lowest 4–8 weeks out and rise sharply inside two weeks. An alert that fires late is not a bargain.

Price alerts FAQ

Why don’t you send alerts yourselves?

Running alerts means storing email addresses. We’ve chosen not to hold any personal data on this site, and Google already offers the same thing for free with better coverage than we could run.

Does Google Flights cover budget airlines?

Yes — Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Jet2 and Norwegian all appear, and fares link through to the airline or a booking site.

How do I stop an alert?

Turn off the Track prices switch on the same search, or use the link at the bottom of any tracking email.
