Airline ticket comparison shopping website FareCompare has released a new iPhone app, When-to-Fly.
The FareCompare When-to-Fly Airfare Alerts iPhone app alerts its users in real-time when prices change to destinations worldwide.
The application pushes real-time airfare deals directly to users’ iPhone in real-time, up to six times per day.
Key features:
- Real-time notifications when prices change on one’s favourite trips
- Getaway maps showing prices to US, Caribbean and European destinations
- Share deals with friends via email, Facebook and Twitter
- Deals from home airport and airfare search
FareCompare has worked with mobile travel applications specialist Mobiata, headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for this initiative.
According to a report filed by annarbor.com, the app is free, so there’s no sales revenue to be split between Mobiata and FareCompare. The company’s spokesperson described the relationship as “managed mobile development” and “mobile as a service”.
