The fare hit your goal
Your number, reached. The subject line says everything, so you can triage it from a lock screen.

Invite-only beta
Name your price.
We'll watch for it.
Tell FareGoal where you want to go and the numbers you'd actually book at — a fare per person, a hotel night, or both. It checks around the clock and emails you the moment a price is there. Then it goes quiet again.
FareGoal is invite-only while it's in beta. Leave an address to get in line for one.
Three moving parts. That's it.
-
1
Pick a trip
From, to, and a window — "any 7 nights between October and mid-November." Or just a town and the nights, for trips with no flight to watch.
-
2
Name your goal
The price that means book it. One per cabin for flights, one per star level for hotels — economy and business can want different things, and so can 3★ and 5★.
-
3
Go do something else
Fares and nightly rates get checked as often as four times a day. You hear from us when there's a reason, and not before.
New
Hotels now, too. Same idea, per night.
Some trips have no fare to watch — the room is the price. Name the nightly rate you'd book at and FareGoal watches the town until a rate crosses it.
✓
Watch a town, not a hotel. Moab, Bear Lake, Lisbon — every check finds the cheapest room that qualifies, and the alert names the hotel it found.
✓
Star levels mean "or better". A cheap 4-star satisfies your 3-star goal. 1★ is the anything-with-a-bed level, unrated motels included.
✓
Per night, for the whole room. Hotel goals are nightly rates for the room as booked — no per-person arithmetic to do in your head.
✓
One dashboard. Flights and stays sit together on your Watches page, so the whole trip's numbers live in one place.
Two reasons your phone lights up
It's just weirdly cheap
Well under what this route — or this town — normally costs, or the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Useful before you know what a fair price even is.

An email from us always means something changed
The fastest way to ruin an alert is to send too many. So we don't.
✓
No repeats. A fare parked under your goal doesn't email you every six hours. It waits a day, or another 5% off.
✓
No "nothing happened" mail. The nightly summary only sends when a price actually moved. Most nights it doesn't send at all.
✓
No 3am buzzing. Ordinary drops wait for morning. Only a genuinely exceptional fare breaks quiet hours.
While we watch the fare, you plan the trip
Every watch carries a trip plan: the days themselves, and a running budget that starts from the very fare FareGoal is tracking.
✓
Sketch the days. A day-by-day plan, with an ideas panel of the destination's top sights — photos, typical prices, and a line on why each is worth it. Tap one and it lands in a day.
✓
Budget the whole trip. Flights come from today's tracked fare, lodging from a typical nightly rate, activities and food from your plan — totalled for the family and per person.
✓
Book it, keep it. Mark a watch booked and it pins real dates, records what you paid, and stops searching. Once you're home it joins Past trips — real numbers for budgeting next year.

Your goal might be nonsense. We'll tell you.
Once a week FareGoal grades every goal against what fares have actually done, and suggests a number that would work. A goal nobody will ever hit is the same as no goal at all.

Things it deliberately doesn't do
- Book anything. Every alert is a link out to the airline. You do the buying.
- Touch your card. There's nothing to charge and nothing stored.
- Watch vacation rentals. Hotels and motels quote honest nightly rates, so we watch those. Whole-home rentals hide their fees until checkout — we leave them alone.
