Most travelers don't realize that flight and hotel prices keep moving after they book — and that airlines and hotels have policies to honor the lower rate if you know how to ask. Plot does. And it works for you around the clock. Forward a confirmation email and Plot builds your itinerary automatically, monitors your prices every day, and sends you step-by-step instructions to claim the savings the moment a better rate appears. GET YOUR MONEY BACK • 50% of flights and 40% of hotel bookings drop in price after purchase — with an average saving of $120 when they do. • Every major airline and hotel has a policy to honor price drops. Plot knows all of them: the exact steps, phone numbers, and direct links to claim yours. • The moment your price drops, you get an alert with everything you need to act — no searching, no guesswork. • Covers 30+ airlines and 150+ hotel brands: Delta, United, American, Southwest, Marriott, Hilton, Booking.com, Airbnb, and more. ONE PLACE FOR EVERYTHING • Forward any confirmation email — flights, hotels, car rentals, restaurants, activities. Your itinerary builds itself. • A clean, day-by-day timeline with weather forecasts built in. • Share a live itinerary link with travel companions, family, or whoever is joining you on the trip • Add anything manually with one tap. STAY AHEAD OF EVERY DELAY • Plot tracks your flights in real time and surfaces delays, gate changes, and cancellations the moment they happen — on your trips list, your timeline, and each flight's details. • Live in-air progress shows where your plane is and when it'll land. • You're never the last to know — no refreshing airline apps, no surprises at the gate. NEVER GET CAUGHT OUT • Free cancellation windows tracked across every booking — flagged 48 hours before they close. Still going? No action needed. Not sure yet? Now you know before it's too late. • We surface cheaper non-refundable rates at the exact moment you still have flexibility to lock them in. EVERY TRIP IN YOUR CALENDAR • One tap to subscribe — every booking auto-populates in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. • Updates automatically when plans change. No re-syncing. • Timezone-accurate: local check-in and checkout dates, not UTC offsets. PRICING Free: Unlimited trips, all booking types, itinerary sharing, weather forecasts, and flight alerts as you head to the airport. Pro ($59.99/year or $9.99/month): Full live flight tracking, price monitoring with claim instructions, calendar sync, and cancellation deadline alerts. The annual plan costs less than one checked bag — and it pays for itself the first price drop it catches. Plot. The best way to travel. Terms of Use: https://plot.travel/terms
