AirTrack (@airtrack_bot)

It is one of the most popular travel chatbots. It can find the cheapest flights and track their prices. Having found a suitable flight according to your needs, you can create a price tracking routine and receive flight alerts as soon as the flight price changes. Thus, you do not have to manually check ticket prices every day. Just leave this job to the bot.

AirTrack is integrated with the Skyscanner system and will redirect you to the cheapest provider’s website if you want to buy your ticket. The bot is available in 5 languages ​​and offers a vast list of currencies.

Hotelhunt (@hotelhuntbot)

It is another hotel chatbot designed to track accommodation prices. To start the tracking routine, you have to find accommodation on Booking.com, send a link to the hotel you have chosen to the bot, and it will alert you every time the room price changes. The bot is very simple to use.

However, Hotelhunt has a downside: it does not allow you to search directly in the chat but serves exclusively as an auxiliary tool for those users who use the Booking website services.
