Refreshing your flight search every day is tiring and not very effective. Price alerts exist to solve exactly this problem: they track the route for you and let you know when the price changes.
In practice, the alert is an automatic monitoring tool. You set the route — and, if you want, the dates — and the system starts tracking the price continuously, comparing the available options. When the price drops meaningfully, you get a notification, without needing to open the site or app to check manually every day.
How it works
How the price alert works, step by step
- 01
Choose your origin and destination
Set the route you want to track. If you haven't decided on a destination yet, you can track by region.
- 02
Set your dates, or leave them flexible
You can track fixed departure and return dates, or a wider window when you haven't locked in your travel calendar yet.
- 03
Turn on the alert
From there, the system starts continuously monitoring the route's price across LATAM, GOL, and Azul.
- 04
Get notified at the right time
You're notified when the price drops meaningfully, without needing to open the site or app to check manually.
- 05
Compare and complete your purchase
When you get the alert, you can still compare the options from all three airlines side by side and buy directly, with no agency fee.
Use cases
When it's most worth turning on an alert
The alert pays off most when your trip still has flexibility — in dates, destination, or both. If you're planning well in advance, tracking the route for weeks or months until the price drops within your budget is more efficient than redoing the search manually. It's also useful when you're weighing two or three possible destinations and want to decide based on which one is more affordable.
Realistic expectations
What the price alert doesn't guarantee
- 01
It doesn't guarantee the lowest historical fare
The alert notifies you about real price changes, but it doesn't promise that value will be the lowest the route has ever had.
- 02
It doesn't replace booking early
If your trip falls on a high-demand date, waiting for the alert to trigger could mean missing out on seats in the cheapest fare class.
- 03
It doesn't lock in the price
The value shown in the alert is the price at the moment it was checked — it can change between the notification and checkout, though the difference is usually small.
- 04
It doesn't eliminate the need to compare
It's worth checking baggage allowance, rebooking rules, and schedules for the options available at the time of the alert, not just the price itself.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the price alert free?
Yes, turning on tracking for a route on Viajante Promo is free. You get the notification and decide whether you want to go ahead with the purchase.
How often is the price checked?
The system monitors the route continuously throughout the day, comparing prices across LATAM, GOL, and Azul to spot meaningful drops.
Can I track more than one route at the same time?
Yes, you can turn on alerts for different combinations of origin, destination, and dates, which is useful when you're still deciding between destinations.
Does the alert work for flexible dates?
It does. You can set a wider window instead of fixed dates, and the alert takes price variation within that window into account.
When I get the alert, is the price shown guaranteed until I buy?
The value reflects the moment it was checked. Airfares can change quickly, so it's best to complete your purchase as soon as possible after the notification.
