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.
