Descent

Set a budget and get alerted when flights get cheap

Overview

What it is

I kept obsessively checking Google Flights hoping prices would drop. So I built Descent, set a budget for any route, and get alerted the moment fares go below it. It tracks business/economy class, direct flights, multiple currencies, and passenger count. The fun part: Descent Copilot lets you create alerts by just saying “Cheap flights to Tokyo in August under 150 euros”, powered by Apple Intelligence, fully on-device. Free to try. Would love your feedback!

Intent

I need it when

Discover affordable travel destinations without a fixed itinerary

Descent's destination explorer lets users browse flights from their home airport and discover surprisingly affordable routes they didn't know existed. The app displays real-time pricing on destination cards, combining inspiration with savings discovery.

Quickly create flight alerts using natural language instead of form navigation

Descent Copilot (powered by Apple Intelligence) lets users type natural requests like 'Direct flights from London to Barcelona in July, under €80' and automatically extracts route, dates, budget, and preferences to create alerts instantly without menu navigation.

Avoid manually refreshing flight search engines and missing deal alerts

Descent automates price monitoring by watching flights around the clock and notifying users instantly when deals appear. Users create alerts in seconds by picking routes, dates, and maximum price, eliminating the need for repetitive manual searches.

Compare complete flight details and make informed booking decisions

Descent displays comprehensive flight information including airlines, departure/arrival times, layovers, duration, aircraft type, and number of stops. The flight calendar shows prices across entire date ranges at a glance, helping users spot the best balance between schedule and savings.

Find and book the cheapest flights for planned trips

Descent monitors flight prices 24/7 and sends push notifications when fares drop below user-set budgets. Users can browse real-time pricing across date ranges, compare fares across weeks, and identify the cheapest travel days before booking with one tap to external booking sites.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs real-time flight booking integration; Descent tracks prices but requires jumping to external booking sites
  • User travels exclusively from airports not in the 7,000+ airport database
  • User requires multi-city or complex itinerary planning beyond simple route alerts
  • User needs offline flight search capability; app requires internet for price monitoring
  • User prefers apps with advertising or sponsored flight deals; Descent is ad-free and does not show sponsored results
