Information Madness

Considering the current economy, everyone is looking for some great discounts. Specially if you are a frequent traveller, getting discount airfare or cheap airfare doesn't hurt. If you are looking for a way to find the cheapest airfare,  you can read this article on how to get the cheapest airfare in India.

Wouldn't it be nice to have email alerts for the cheapest airfare for your favorite destination? Well you are in luck. iXigo.com has a solution for that.

iXiGo.com has launched a Fare Alerts feature that allows users to get alerts by e-mail as soon as airfares for a future date drop below a threshold set by them. iXiGO Fare Alerts will allow consumers to track such airfare trends, so that they can take advantage of significant drops in fares - instantly.

Now I am not sure how effective the alert system is.. I am not doubting on the alert feature itself but the airline pricings. You might set the Mumbai to Delhi airfare alert for as low as Rs. 500 and not get any alert as the price would never go down that much.

What's your take on this? Would you like to have such email alerts for cheap airfare?
