Yapta bills itself as the first to track airfares for a specific flight before or after purchase. It notifies you when fares drop. Yapta is an acronym for "Your Amazing Personal Travel Assistant."
What makes this interesting to the budget traveler is the ability to target a specific flight of your choosing and then watch the airfare as you would the price of company stock.
It's done with software called a "tagger" that is downloaded to your computer. Once it's in, you shop for a flight on specific Web sites and "tag" the one you bought or might want to purchase by clicking "Tag it with Yapta."
That's it. Yapta then tracks the fares (the Web site says this is done several times a day) and alerts you to any increases or decreases in the fare.
You may also set a price point and receive an alert if that target is reached.
