If you\u2019ve ever booked a flight only to see the price drop a few days later, you know the frustration \u2013 that annoying feeling of \u201cI could\u2019ve saved X amount if I\u2019d just waited!\u201d Typically, the only way to recoup the fare difference is through a tedious process \u2014booking the flight, monitoring prices daily, manually rebooking if the fare drops, and waiting for a refund.<\/p>\n

Now, Skiplagged<\/a> has found a way to make that process easier with Price Hacker<\/strong>, a new feature that automatically monitors your ticket fare and rebooks you when it drops\u2014no work required on your part and the savings get issued to you as airline credits.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with Skiplagged, it\u2019s a flight search engine best known for hidden city ticketing<\/a>\u2014a booking method where you purchase a flight with a layover at your actual destination and skip the final leg. This method can save you hundreds of dollars compared to booking a direct ticket.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not the only type of fare you can book nowadays. Skiplagged lets you book all kinds of fares regardless of whether you\u2019re taking advantage of hidden city ticketing or not.<\/p>\n

So how does the Price Hacker feature stack up? Let\u2019s take a closer look at how it works and whether it\u2019s worth your while:<\/p>\n

Price Hacker solves one of the biggest headaches in booking flights: unpredictable fare fluctuations. Airfare prices change based on demand, making it impossible for travelers to know the perfect time to book.<\/p>\n

With Price Hacker, Skiplagged handles the price tracking and rebooking for you. Once you book an eligible economy ticket, the tool automatically monitors your fare for price drops. If the cost of your exact flight decreases by at least $15, Skiplagged rebooks you at the lower fare and gives you the difference as an airline flight credit.<\/p>\n

The best part? This can happen multiple times per booking. Every time the fare drops by $15 or more, you\u2019ll get another credit, allowing you to stack savings effortlessly. You\u2019ll get an email notification each time your fare drops and your flight is autoamtically rebooked.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather not save money on airfare (but really, who doesn\u2019t?), then you can also opt out of the Price Hacker during booking.\u00a0But I can\u2019t think of any good reason why you\u2019d do that. If you\u2019re going to book a ticket through an OTA, you want to stack as many perks as you can.<\/p>\n
