Set a flight price target and only hear from us when we find it

What "target price" actually means

A target price is the number you've decided is genuinely worth booking at, not just a lower number than before. Working out what that number should be for a specific route takes more than a guess - we've written a full guide on that in What's a Good Price for a Flight? This page is about what happens once you have that number: how an alert should actually use it.

Why most alerts don't really do target prices

Google Flights and Kayak will tell you when a price drops or when they judge a change "significant," but neither lets you set a fixed number and simply wait for it. You're still the one deciding, each time a notification arrives, whether this particular drop is actually good enough. That's not a target price - it's a running commentary you have to keep interpreting yourself.

How milo's target-price alerts work

You set the number once, along with the route, cabin, stops and dates you'd accept. Milo keeps checking against that exact figure and says nothing until a flight matching everything else you asked for actually reaches it. One notification, and it's one you already know is worth opening.

A target price is only half the job, though - it also needs to be checked against the right dates and reported without turning into noise. That's the combination milo is built around.
