The easiest and best price trackers can be set with Google Flights, Kayak or Hopper. With Google Flights, simply login to your Gmail account and head to Google Flights to start your obsessive price tracking. Here are a few helpful tricks to get even better prices. After your search, you just press the slider right above the prices – which says “track prices”. You can track multiple dates to multiple places, all at the same time. We have about 250 price trackers set to places all around the world, just FYI. When we find amazing deals, we post them here.
