Top iPhone Apps for Airfare Rates

1. Fare Compare iPhone App

This simple site does exactly what its name implies and then some. Fare Compare lets you track flights and airfares from any city and alerts you when prices change or drop. Enter in your travel details and you’ll get a text via the iPhone when your destination city has a decreased fare. Great for knowing when you’ve scored a nice deal and when you’ve hit a big fail in travel rates. You can also share good rates with friends and family via the in built social sharing features.

The well known travel search engine has a companion iPhone app that you can use to keep tabs on your flights, itinerary and trips. With Kayak, you can search and book any flight going any where and get a list of low priced airfare rates right on your iPhone. We love this site and the FREE cell phone app.

 

3. Expedia iPhone App

Even though Expedia started out initially by offering deep discounts on hotels, it later added in deals on flights, car rentals, cruises and more. With the Expedia iPhone app you can search and book for low rates on airfare and get a treasure trove of information on both hotels and flights. Low airfare rates are just a click away with the robust and full featured Expedia iPhone app.
