See full text

A product availability tracking and notification system and method is provided that automatically alerts consumers of product availability, such as air travel fares, that is automatically searched after an initial search is performed which meets the criteria of the user. To obtain current price information, internally generated queries and user generated queries that match trips being tracked with corresponding search criteria are provided. In tracking airfares for a trip, applicable taxes and fees are included to provide the consumer an accurate total cost. Notification of current pricing is displayed and communicated to the user once the product is available at a specified target price and after a predetermined time period if the defined target price is not found. Searches and pricing for multiple traveler types and travel date flexibility are provided.
