I wonder if the airlines will start gaming thing. Seeing what people are being told and doing the opposite to catch them off guard.
Almost every site offers this. Isn't this unhelpful in the last ng run? Consumer behavior will change and the price will smooth out or the window of lower prices will be gone or the percentage of change will become smaller.
I almost never use anything other google flights when searching for a ticket. The UI is just so much better and easier to use than the ridiculous bloated crap that most travel sites are (especially when they are trying to shove car-rental and hotel deals in your face). The one drawback is sometimes they are missing local / smaller airlines from their list of flights (which can be a major price difference from the maj…
My favourite is http://adioso.com , it's even cleaner than Google Flights and it has "Anytime" as a choice for date of departure.
