FlightDrop

Automatic Refunds on Overpaid Flights

November 28, 2025 I kept seeing my flight prices drop after I booked… so I built a tool to fix it

Hey IH 👋

I travel a lot for work, and I kept noticing the same thing:

I'd book a flight, feel good about the price, and then a few days later I'd check again and it would be cheaper. Sometimes by $40… sometimes by $80+.

Most people don’t know this, but airlines will give you travel credit if the price drops after you book — you just have to manually check and request it.

I hated the idea of missing out on money for no reason. And I REALLY hated checking manually.

So I built FlightDrop.

Here’s what it does:

  • You forward your flight confirmation

  • We track the price behind the scenes

  • If it drops, we secure the airline credit for you automatically

  • You get notified when you save money

While building it, I learned:

  • Flight prices change constantly

  • Airlines almost never notify you

  • Most people never re-check their fare

  • Even small drops add up across a year

This is my first time launching in public and I’d love feedback from the IH community:

Would you use something like this?
What features matter most to you?
Any dealbreakers?

Happy to answer anything about the tech, the process, or the idea behind it.

    Wondering how much money I have lost, if you keep historical data do you think we can find about that?
