Flight tracker
The Flight Tracker watches the routes you care about so you can compare prices before you book. Save a route once with your preferences, then refresh whenever you want to see the cheapest departure dates and the flights on them. It lives under Travel → Flight Tracker.
Add a route
Click Add route and fill in the search:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Origin (required) | Airport code, e.g. SEA |
| Destination (required) | Airport code, e.g. LHR |
| Label | A friendly name like “Summer trip” |
| Cabin | Any class, Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First |
| Stops | Any stops, Non-stop only, or Max 1 stop |
| Airlines | A saved airline filter (see below) |
| From / To date | The departure-date window to search |
| Max hrs | Hide flights longer than this total journey time |
Click Save. Origin and destination are all you strictly need; the rest narrows the results.
Airline filters
An airline filter is a reusable preset of carriers plus a mode:
- Only these — show only flights on the airlines you pick.
- Exclude these — hide flights on those airlines.
Create one from Manage airline filters, name it, choose Only / Exclude, and pick airlines from the searchable list. Then select it when adding or editing a route.
Refresh and read the results
Click a route’s refresh icon (or Refresh all) and OrientME finds the cheapest departure dates in your window, then the flights on each. Click the route to expand a table of those dates — price, airline, flight numbers, departure and arrival, duration, and stops, with the cheapest date tagged.
Booking a fare
The prices you see are tracked from Google Flights, so each date row gives you Google as one booking option — it opens that exact date and fare on Google Flights, where you finish with the airline. Right beside it, under Compare, are Kiwi and Aviasales — partner sites that often list the same trip for a similar or better price. All three are one tap away and weighted equally, so it’s worth a quick look at each before you book.
A tighter Max hrs makes a noisy long-haul route much easier to scan — just remember it can also hide a cheaper-but-slower option.
Get a price alert
Don’t want to keep checking back? Turn on a price alert and OrientME will email you when the fare drops.
When you add or edit a route, tick Email me when a fare drops to or below and enter your target price. By default the alert goes to your account email — to send it somewhere else, type a different address in the box that appears.
From then on, whenever a check finds the best fare at or below your target, you’ll get an email with the price, the date, and the same Google / Kiwi / Aviasales booking links so you can jump straight to booking. Every route has a bell in its row — lit when an alert is set (click it any time to edit), or struck through when there isn’t one (click it to add one). You won’t be spammed: once you’ve been alerted at a price, the next email only comes if it drops further.
Alerts ride along with the regular background checks, so you’ll hear about a drop even when the app is closed. Price alerts are available for cash fares.
Manage routes
Hover a route for quick actions: refresh just that route, edit its preferences, duplicate it (handy for trying a variation), or delete it. Saved routes keep checking so the prices stay reasonably fresh between visits.
The Flight Tracker is about finding a flight. Once you’ve booked, add it to a trip under Logistics to keep it with the rest of your itinerary.
Booking with points instead of cash? Award flights is the companion that watches award (points & miles) availability — it's not currently available while we research a data partner, but you can read how it's designed to work.
