Price difference on Yapta compared to airline site?

[ldsmomld]

Can someone explain why I am seeing a price of $340 on Yapta but when I click on the link to "buy from this airline" the price shown on the Delta sight shows to be over $500?? Am I missing something?

TIA!

That's been happening to me alot on Yapta too. Not sure why, but it does seem to be for my fares for next spring. I was thinking that Jetblue was still tweaking their system, but it's been like this for about 2 weeks now. It shows my rate for April is $65 and when I go to the site, it's much higher. I've learned not to rely solely on what Yapta says now. I still check Jetblue every morning.

Thanks, Waltsgirl. Surely seems strange to me. I can't even get into yapta this morning.

Yapta is kind of useless IMO. Kayak has the actual fares much more reliably.

Yapta for JetBlue for me has been right on (I check both every day hoping for more JB credits). Whatever Yapta has been saying for the price from JFK-MCO is the same as I'm getting on JB's site.

I've been using Yapta for a year now and it's always been very good at sending me alerts and keeping me posted. Only recently has it been constantly giving me the wrong info and only for my Spring 2010 "watches". Yapta has saved me a ton of $$.

Not for me which is one of the reasons I uninstalled it recently. It was sometimes showing fares out of my home airport $30 higher than on JetBlue site. If I have to go to JB to check whether Yapta is accurate, might as well not do double work; I'll just go to JetBlue once. And since Yapta won't track Southwest, it does no good there either. But YMMV.
