Delta Price Tracker
A free desktop app that watches your booked Delta flights and emails you when the price drops. Because airlines do not tell you when your flight gets cheaper.
The Problem
Delta lets you rebook at a lower price and keep the difference as an eCredit. But they are not going to tell you when the price drops. You have to check manually, over and over, for every flight you have booked. Nobody does that consistently, so most people leave money on the table.
Delta Price Tracker does the checking for you. You add your flight details, and the app monitors Delta.com daily, in the background, and sends you an email the moment the price drops below what you paid.
How It Works
- Add your flights with origin, destination, dates, and optionally the exact departure time
- Track cash or SkyMiles prices separately, since they move independently
- Daily background checks run automatically between 3 and 5 AM to avoid detection
- Email alerts when the price drops below your threshold, with the exact dollar or miles difference
- Screenshot proof captured from Delta.com with every price check, so you have evidence for rebooking
- Price history charts showing how the fare has moved over time
- Savings log to track actual money saved when you rebook at the lower price
- Runs in your system tray on Windows or Terminal on Mac, completely out of the way
Installation
On Windows, download the installer EXE and run it. On Mac, download the zip and run the install script. The app handles all dependencies automatically on first launch, including the browser automation tool it uses to check Delta.com. No Python knowledge or command line experience needed.
Privacy and Data
Everything runs locally on your computer. The only outbound connections are to Delta.com (to check prices) and your Gmail SMTP server (to send alerts). Your flight data is stored in a local SQLite database on your machine. Nothing is sent to any external server or cloud service.
If you are also tracking purchases on Amazon, the Amazon Price Tracker works on the same principle: local monitoring, email alerts, no cloud dependency.
