We get you money back after you book your flight.
You booked a flight. Then, a month, a week—or just a day later, the price drops.Often, you're eligible for a refund or travel credit for the difference.But airlines don't make it easy. It's hard to keep up with all the different fare rules. And it's time consuming to track the price of a flight you've already booked.That's where FareDropped comes in.If your fare drops, and your ticket is eligible, we help get you a refund or a travel credit from your airline—automatically.
FareDropped makes sure you get the best price for what you booked.
FareDropped makes sure that if the price drops for the experience and features you paid for when you bought your ticket, you get the new, lower price whenever possible.That could mean a fare that included:
An assigned seat
Extra-legroom or exit-row seats
The ability to "same-day confirm" to get home to your family sooner
Economy, premium economy, business class or first class seats
Pretty much just anything other than a "basic economy" ticket
Once you're a free FareDropped member it's as easy as one and done.
We ensure that everything about your reservation stays exactly the same, including your flights, your seats, and any perks.
The only thing that changes, for the better, is the price.
Our pricing is designed so our members always come out ahead.
With our free membership, there is no subscription fee. We share in the savings together.
First, you receive a refund or travel credit directly from your airline for the difference between the price you paid and the new, lower fare.
We then collect, at most, 30 percent of that savings. You always keep at least 70 percent of the refund or voucher amount.
After you've received your first airline credit, we'll send you an invoice through our secure payment processing partner, Stripe.

How Chad saved $150 on his Delta Air Lines flight to Las Vegas.
After he paid for it.
Chad was having trouble pulling the trigger booking his flight to Las Vegas.Prices were fluctuating wildly—by hundreds of dollars in each direction—for the non-stop flights he was looking at. And the specific flight times were important to Chad.He would be meeting up with friends in Vegas and wanted a morning departure from the east coast so he could arrive Las Vegas ready to hit the ground running.And he wanted a return flight that left in the morning, but not too early, after a lively weekend in Vegas.And, for Chad, the red eye was: Not. An. Option. (We don't blame him.)Then, Chad realized: Because he was a FareDropped member, he didn't need to wait to book his flights. Or stress about the situation at all.He could simply book his flight and, if the price fell, FareDropped would help him get a voucher from his airline for the difference.I stopped watching flight prices, booked my ticket and got on with my life. If the price dropped later, I knew FareDropped would help me get my money back.Chad, a FareDropped member since 2021.So, Chad booked his flight.Importantly, Chad booked a "main cabin" economy fare—not a "basic" economy—ticket.On Delta Air Lines, Chad's favorite airline, the slightly more expensive main cabin fare gave him both flexibility and added comfort.He could cancel or reschedule his main cabin ticket (not so with basic economy) and he could select seats in advance, helping him to travel more comfortably on his cross-country flight.Several weeks after he booked, Chad got an email from FareDropped. His fare had dropped by $80. On Chad's request, we obtained a voucher for him.A few days later, while Chad was sleeping, his fare dropped by another $70. FareDropped worked with Delta to increase his voucher—all while Chad was asleep.When Chad woke up he found that his airline voucher had nearly doubled—to $150. Huzzah!Ready to start saving on airfare in your sleep?

A message from our founder: Let's make airfare fair.
My friends and I started FareDropped when we uncovered an unpleasant surprise: we were overpaying—a lot—for airfare.At the time, I was traveling frequently to Chicago and began to notice that tickets I was booking weeks in advance for $150 would sometimes drop to $100 or even $50 as it got closer to the date of my departure.It turned out that the same thing was happening to a lot of my friends. But— until I pointed it out to them—they had no idea their ticket prices had even dropped.When they saw how much our ticket prices were fluctuating—sometimes by hundreds, even thousands, of dollars—my friends were, understandably, upset. It didn't seem fair.Covid helped to virtually eliminate airline change and cancellation fees.Prior to the Covid pandemic, there was nothing you could really do about this airfare wizardry, which airlines call "dynamic ticket pricing." (eye roll.)That's because airlines used to charge "change fees," penalties in the hundreds of dollars that customers had to pay if they wanted to change their travel plans. Those fees, of course, usually wiped out any potential savings from trying to rebook a flight at a lower price.But then Covid-19 hit the airlines. And it hit them hard.Demand for air travel dropped precipitously and airlines had to find a way to encourage customers to buy seats and fill up their planes.Customers needed something in return: flexibility. They needed to know that, if they purchased a flight, they could rebook or cancel that flight if their plans changed unexpectedly. Like, for example, because of a global pandemic.And so, airlines did what they had to do: They largely eliminated those once-onerous change and cancellation fees.Now, when ticket prices fall, you can get money back from airlines.Cut to today, when you can usually get a credit back from your airline if the price of your ticket drops after you've paid for it.Don't worry if you didn't already know this. Most people I talk to don't.In addition to knowing that you may be entitled to a refund or a credit in the first place, you need an easy way to find out that the price of your ticket has actually dropped.You also need to keep up with the rules and regulations in place at each airline for each type of fare. And, on top of that, you need to know exactly how to go about getting your credit from the airline.Who has time to keep up with all of this? We do.Who has time to keep up with all of those policies and also continuously check for changes to ticket prices? FareDropped does.We monitor your purchased flights for changes in price, alert you when your ticket price drops, and we keep up with each airline's rules and regulations so we can tell you exactly how to get your credit from the airline.And we do all that before the price of your flight goes back up again.Let's get started with a free trial.Sign up for a free trial and put us to work!During your free trial, we will work to get you an actual voucher from your airline.
