Yapta.com can track fares on specific routes and dates for you, and a new feature can alert you when airlines make new seats available at the lowest-priced frequent-flier award levels. Even though you may find a certain flight unavailable for the cheapest frequent-flier awards, the inventory can change, and if the flight sells slowly and empty seats are available, airlines often open up frequent-flier seat inventory. Unless you constantly check, you'd never know. But now Yapta can check for you. The service, now in beta testing, is available on Yapta's free Web site. So far it works only with United, Delta, Continental and Alaska airlines, as well as US Airways. Use Yapta's regular "Plan a Trip" function and the Web site finds prices and recommends flights, based on your preferences. If you "tag" flights that interest you, Yapta will track pricing changes, sending email alerts. With itineraries on those five major airlines, Yapta offers a box to check to include airline award tickets in those email alerts for price changes. When seats open up at the minimum mileage possible, you get an email alert. (Source: The Wall Street Journal)
