southwest-price-drop-bot

This tool lets you monitor the price of Southwest flights that you've booked. It will text you if the price drops below what you originally paid. Then you can re-book the same flight and get Southwest credit for the price difference.

You can log in with either:

  • The admin username/password combo, example: admin and the-admin-password-123
  • A phone number/password combo, example: 13034449999 and the-admin-password-123 (unformatted phone number WITH country code)

The second option is nice when giving out access to friends and family since it will only display alerts for the given phone number. Note that the password is the same for all accounts.
