Get notified before the airline tells you
ExpertFlyer detects schedule changes from published data and sends you an email immediately, often hours or days before the airline notifies passengers through its own channels.
Flight Schedule Alerts
Know about schedule changes before the airline tells you
Monitor any flight for departure or arrival time shifts. ExpertFlyer checks continuously and notifies you by email the moment a change is published, often hours or days before the airline reaches out.
Start 5-Day Free TrialExpertFlyer Flight Schedule Alerts monitor your flights for published schedule changes and notify you by email the moment one occurs, often hours or days before the airline contacts you directly. Set an alert from the Flight Details or Timetables results page, choose how sensitive you want it to be, and receive an immediate notification if the departure or arrival time shifts. Knowing about a schedule change early puts you in a position to request free rebooking or a more convenient itinerary before other passengers on the same flight start requesting changes.
What Flight Schedule Alerts can do for you
Choose your sensitivity level
Set alerts to catch any schedule change, including shifts of just one minute, or to notify you only when departure or arrival times move by a more significant amount.
Act early enough to request free rebooking
A schedule change can entitle you to free rebooking or compensation under many airline policies, but the window to act is limited. Earlier notification means more options and more leverage.
Protect tight connections and multi-segment itineraries
When your trip has segments that depend on each other, even a small time shift on one flight can cascade. Monitoring each leg keeps you aware of changes before they become problems.
How to create a Flight Schedule Alert
Flight Schedule Alerts are created from within Flight Details or Flight Timetables results. Click the bell icon on any flight result, then choose a sensitivity level. Sensitivity options include any schedule change, even a shift of one minute, or only significant time shifts. Notifications are sent by email. Up to three email addresses can receive notifications, including mobile devices.

How frequent flyers use Flight Schedule Alerts
You have a tight connection and need early warning of any time shift
Set a Flight Schedule Alert on the first flight in your itinerary with sensitivity set to any change. If departure or arrival time shifts even slightly, you will know immediately and can assess whether the connection still works before the airline contacts you or other passengers start requesting rebooking.
You want to know as soon as possible so you can request free rebooking
Airlines publish schedule changes well before informing passengers. An alert puts you at the front of the line. When you call the airline with a confirmed schedule change in hand, you are in a much stronger position to request a preferred alternative flight rather than accepting whatever is offered later.
You are monitoring a multi-segment trip where each leg depends on the others
Set alerts on every flight in your itinerary. If any single segment shifts, you will know immediately and can evaluate the downstream impact on your connections and final arrival time, rather than discovering the problem on travel day.
