It's not happening right away, though. It'll take several weeks before you notice the Yapta "track price drops" button appear on Kayak search results. But immediately as of today, Kayak's flight search tool appears on the Yapta.com.
To be eligible for a refund if the price drops, you need to book directly with the airline. Yapta spokesperson Jeff Pecor points out that,
"If you book through an online travel agency, you're not going to be protected by the airline's "guaranteed airfare policy." The beauty of Kayak is that they give you the option to book the flight directly with the airline (in addition to giving you the option to book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz."

It is about time the airlines caught up with hotels! I have been doing this for years with my hotels through Quikbook.com. Once I book, I just check back periodically to see if the hotel has cheaper rates and if they do Quikbook will lower them for me. Sometimes I book a few hotels just to see which one will drop the lowest in price and then I keep that one and cancel the others. I am happy to see the airlines are moving toward these types of reservations!

I've been using YAPTA almost from its day one. And it has saved me hundreds either in pre-purchase fare-watch or in flight credits after.
Good match and I highly recommend it (though the airlines have caught on and have made some tracking a good bit more difficult than it used to be on the pre-purchase process).

I use Yapta as just one of my tools in finding airfares.
However, the search engine that drives the search engines for travel sites like expedia can be found at http://www.itasoftware.com. It has some nice query features like asking "What is the best fare you can find for me for a 6-8 day trip in the month of May"?
