FareCatcher, by Spitting-Image Software, utilizes web based travel services like Orbitz to periodically go online and obtain the lowest fare prices for specific trips that you define.

With traditional fare notification services, you receive email periodically (and unpredictably) about lowest fares for your favorite destinations.  Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that the fare described will be applicable to the times that you plan to travel.  What good is notification about a super low fare next week when you need to travel two months from now?  With FareCatcher you can state specifically when and where you want to travel.  Then retrieve the fares and travel options just for those days.  Also, with FareCatcher you can retrieve these fares automatically and daily so that you never miss a great (but short lived) fare.

Here are some completely unsolicited comments about FareCatcher:

"Your software is easy to use and very practical. What an improvement over other fare-search tools!" - Mark G., Flagstaff, AZ

FareCatcher 1.2:

• runs as an icon in your system tray (where the current time appears on your task bar),
• define an unlimited number of trips that you'd like to take -- including a range of dates during which you'd be willing to travel,
• automatically goes online to retrieve the latest fare information for the range of travel dates and destinations that you define,
• allows you to limit the display of travel options to certain departure and arrival times as well as the number of legs,
• alerts you with a pop-up window when the lowest fare associated with one of your trips has a fare that falls below a threshold price that you've set in advance,
• presents you with a graphical display of the price history for each of your trips,
• allows you to define price thresholds for each of your trips based on an absolute dollar amount or a drop of some % from the average value (or simply be notified when ever the lowest fare price increases or decreases)
