Get alerted the moment your airline changes your flight
Airlines quietly move flight times. An agent watching your inbox spots the change, tells you what moved, and lays out your options.
What the bot does
- Watches your email for airline itinerary changes.
- Compares the new times with your original booking.
- Checks the airline's rules for what you can do: keep it, rebook, or cancel.
- Drafts the rebooking or cancellation request for you to approve.
What you end up with
An alert when your flight changes, your options under the airline's rules, and a request drafted for whichever one you pick.

Watch my email for any message from an airline about a schedule change, a time change or a cancellation. When you find one, tell me the old and new times and the size of the change, and check that airline's published rules for my options (keep, rebook, cancel). Draft the request for the option I pick, but don't change or cancel anything without my OK.
