DALLAS, Nov 2 /PRNewswire/ -- FareCompare today released FareFirst, an airfare tracking tool for the popular Firefox browser. Available only to Firefox users, FareFirst automatically notifies consumers as soon as fares change in markets of interest, giving them a leg up on purchasing airline tickets at the lowest possible price.
"The real beauty of FareFirst is that it runs automatically," commented Rick Seaney, FareCompare CEO. "Just set up the markets you want to track, and it does the rest. The extension alerts Firefox users three times a day as soon as new fares are published."
The New York Times called it "one of the more innovative uses of RSS technology." FareFirst is a very useful, user-friendly application. It takes less than five minutes to set up and allows Firefox users to see fares in a separate window no matter what application they have running on their computers.
FareFirst supports fares for travel within the US and Canada, as well as international travel to and from North America. The extension also includes FareCompare's star rating system. A four-star rating indicates a fare is at or near the historical low for that particular route and is a great buy.
Consumers can select to track fares for specific airlines or below a certain price. When a new fare is found that matches the specified airline and/or price, the extension automatically provides an audio and visual alert in a separate window.
