Yapta

Yapta is an online travel planning solution that makes it easy for travelers to secure the best airfare deals available. Named one of the Best 50 Websites in 2007 by Time.com, Yapta is pioneering a new category called trip tagging that allows travelers to tag the trips they're interested in when shopping online, track those trips in a personal scratch pad online, and get alerts when prices drop. Yapta's online service monitors airfare price volatility and alerts consumers when the price on tagged flights decreases.

Bringing to light pro-consumer guaranteed airfare rules offered by the airlines, Yapta also offers a refund alert service to air travelers to help them obtain travel vouchers - and in some cases, cash refunds - when the price decreases on tickets that have already been purchased. Yapta was founded in January 2006 with the mission to assure consumers that they get the most value out of their trip planning and pay the lowest possible price for airline tickets.
