Purchasing a flight

Airline re-booking fees

If the price drops on an airline ticket you've already purchased, you may be eligible for a voucher or credit from the airline. Keep in mind that some airlines charge a re-booking fee for this service.

When Yapta tracks prices for you, we take these re-booking fees into consideration so that you will be alerted only when the price drop exceeds that fee.
