Yapta is a basic butrnuseful app for saving money on airfare. The idea behind Yapta is simple. Yournenter the details for the flights that you want to take, as well as the currentrnprice for each flight. Yapta then watches the price for you and lets you knowrnwhen the price changes.

You’ve probably seen commercials for Kayak. And those commercials always seem tornmention that Kayak checks various travel websites for the best prices onrnflights and hotels so that you don’t have to manually comparison shop. ThernKayak app can certainly help you find flight and hotel prices, but there isrnmore to it than that.

There are three things that I really like about this app.rnFirst, it shows you the cheapest days to travel. Second, the interface isrnreally simple to use. Unlike some travel apps, it doesn’t really have arnlearning curve. Third, this app will tell you straight up whether you shouldrnbook now or wait to book. Some travel apps will show you the price change butrndon’t provide any recommendations for the best time to book. This one isrndifferent. It makes a definitive recommendation.
