My agent watches flight prices for my trip and only pings me on a real drop

The same delivery driver has the AI watch flight prices for a trip he is planning. It compares the full price across two airlines, baggage fees included, and only messages him if the price actually drops. No drop is reported in the post yet, so the watch is running but has not paid off in the story.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

Watch fares on two airlines
Compare full prices with baggage fees
Stay silent unless a price drops
Message him when one does

Why it’s worth knowing

The rule is silence unless the drop is real, so the watch saves attention as well as money.
