@Chowpinglee: Everyone: “Book your flight on a Tuesday at 3 pm, you’ll get the cheapest ticket

Chow Ping, an airline veteran, debunks the myth that booking flights on Tuesday at 3 PM guarantees the cheapest tickets, explaining that airline pricing is driven by complex AI algorithms analyzing demand, competitor prices, and passenger behavior. Airlines use numerous fare classes and constantly adjust prices, often increasing costs if you repeatedly check a flight due to tracking cookies. To find cheaper tickets, he advises flexibility with dates, using incognito mode to avoid price hikes, setting up price alerts, and avoiding extra add-ons. Competition from low-cost carriers has driven fares down, but airlines now focus on unbundling services to maximize revenue.
