Yapta is an early entrant in the online flight meta-search marketplace. It offers tools that allow a traveler to find an airline ticket at the best possible price. Adding to its success with flights, Yapta has since added tools for searching best prices on hotel rooms (and rental cars). Yapta’s service lets a user track flights and fares from most airlines and then to receive a message when the fare changes. If the price drops after the user purchases a ticket, Yapta offers assistance in claiming a refund or a credit from the carrier. Yapta launched in 2007.
We updated the Yapta screen shot in July 2011.
