| Name: | Yapta Tagger |
| Product URL: | http://www.yapta.com/ |
| Date Launched: | 05/2007 |
| Description: | The Yapta Tagger is a freely downloadable program that allows users to tag and track airfares for all of their specific flights. The Tagger notifies users via email when their trip price drops or reaches a set user price. Another useful Yapta feature is that it continues to track prices even after users have bought a ticket. Yapta lets people know when the prices for their tickets have dropped since the purchase, so that people can claim refunds and/or credit from airlines. Yapta currently works with only 10 major domestic air cariers (listed on their website), but does work with websites like Orbitz, Expedia, and Travelocity. Currently the Yapta Tagger is not compatible with Firefox, but it is expected to be in the future. |
