Yapta Raises $2.3 Million for Air Fare Tracking
July 10, 2007

Yapta received $2.3 Million in Series A funding from First Round Capital, Voyager Capital, Swiftsure Capital and Bay Partners.

What does Yapta do?

Yapta provides an airfare tracking service.

VCU says:

Yapta monitors airfare prices of the flights you want to watch. When the price drops there is an alert.

A little known airline fact is the set of “guaranteed airfare rules” offered by many airlines. When there is a price decrease identified by Yapta and the rule allows for the ability to receive a travel voucher and sometimes cash refunds.

In addition to notification when an airfare drops to obtain a voucher or cash, you may tag flights before purchasing to watch when/if they drop in price.

Yapta was founded in January 2006 with the mission to assure consumers that they get the most value out of their trip planning and pay the lowest possible price for airline tickets.

Unfortunately as of the writing of this article it only works in IE and not in Firefox.
