Flight Watchdog

What do you mean by one Watcher?

The term "Watcher" refers to a watcher who consistently monitors a specific city-pair on particular dates, doing so on a daily basis.

How long does the Watcher keep monitoring?

The Watcher will monitor until the departure date, unless the user chooses to stop it earlier and deletes the watch. Once deleted, the Watcher becomes available for another user.

What does the number of Watchers means?

The allocated number of Watchers indicates the maximum number of active monitoring tasks that can be set up simultaneously. If 50 Watchers are allocated, once this limit is reached, GOL IBE will not offer the Watcher feature to other users. However, as soon as any Watcher is canceled, the count decreases, making unassigned Watchers available to be used again by other users.

What is the result of watching?

The outcome of monitoring is a series of emails. Through these emails, the user is redirected to GOL to finalize their reservation. This process aligns with the existing GOL settings, meaning if the agency has auto-ticketing enabled, it will be applied accordingly.

Where does the Flight Watchdog source its information?

The Flight Watchdog monitors all results retrieved by GOL, which includes data from Galileo (including baggage search), Travelfusion, and NDC.

Price Checker

What is Price Checker?

The Price Checker compiles data from Flight Watchdog. It's exclusively available via an API, enabling users to extract insights gathered by Watchdog as needed.
