Everyone’s talking about the newly re-designed Yapta site. Their service is now a one-stop shop for all your airline ticket needs. Of course, it’s not perfect, but if fuel prices ever go down, it could help you get a credit if your ticket price goes down after you’ve bought it.

- Seattle based travel startup Yapta.com re-launched its homepage today as a full-service air travel search engine. Yapta originally launched in May 2007 as a browser add-on for bookmarking flight information and tracking price developments. The new site has retained this focus, but moved it away from the extension and made all of its core functions available on the homepage as well.
- With the airlines cutting back their service in every imaginable way while raising their prices simultaneously, Yapta offers travelers another tool to at least try to save some money on their trips.[...]
- Yapta’s focus is still on tracking price changes and especially on alerting its users of price changes after the ticket has already been bought. Airlines will often give travelers a credit or voucher when prices drop significantly - a fact that was unknown to many before Yapta made it convenient to track these changes. All a user has to do is to enter the flight information and confirmation number into Yapta and it will track price changes until the day of the flight.
