FlightPrices

I used to like Southwest because it felt simple. Cheap fares, free bags, open seating, no games. Now it feels like everything is getting layered with fees and changes. Paying for bags, more expensive fares, and assigned seating on top of that. At some point it just stops feeling...

Looking at flights from the US to Dublin this summer and the price difference is pretty crazy. A direct one way to Dublin is around $1400 in economy. But flights to other European cities that connect through Dublin are only about $400 to $600, even though the first leg is the...

If I book a fully refundable Main Cabin ticket and later see the same flight drop to a cheaper non refundable fare, can I just cancel the refundable one and rebook at the lower price? Also, is it safer to book the cheaper fare first and then cancel the refundable one after, just...

Been looking at flights from France to Singapore with Qatar Airways for the past few days. I am a student so budget really matters. Yesterday the fare was around 350 to 400 for basic economy. Today it is suddenly around 800 for the exact same flight on the same date. No changes,...

Trying to figure out what really drives price more, when you buy or when you fly. Right now NYC to Paris in March is about 2x the price of a ticket for tomorrow. So I’m wondering… is that because March is peak season? And if I waited until March to book a last minute ticket for...

Qatar pricing feels extra confusing lately. Seeing $1700 per person on the site, then a student discount dropping one ticket to $938, but not working for two passengers at all is already annoying. Then Sama AI comes in with $1900 total for two people and now nothing adds up....

£143 round trip from Budapest to London in August honestly doesn’t sound bad at all, especially with multiple big concerts happening at the same time. With The Weeknd and Ariana Grande both in town, demand is going to be high. That’s the kind of situation where prices usually...

I’m looking at flights for September 2026 for a 10 day Amalfi Coast group tour. Flying into Rome and out of Naples, round trip from Tampa. Premium economy is coming out to about $6,600 for two people, which feels kind of insane. What surprised me is that a lot of the premium...

I fly Alaska almost exclusively out of SEA and lately the prices feel kind of insane. Domestic round trips rarely seem under $500 anymore. International is even worse. Alaska’s prices are often double what I’m seeing on other airlines. I was looking at Rome and it was close to...

We were in the middle of booking a JetBlue flight and the price literally jumped by over $500 before we could finish. Same flights, same dates, just suddenly way more expensive. Has this happened to anyone else? Feels brutal to watch the price change in real time like that....

This one surprised me. Flying SCL to IPT round trip. Google Flights showed about $970 in business, but once I clicked through to LATAM it was suddenly $1700 to $2000. Thought Google was just teasing with a one leg price. Tried laptop, app, same thing. Then somehow ended up on...

This drives me crazy too. The price you see on Google Flights almost never ends up being the real price once you get to checkout, especially with kids. By the time you add seats so you’re actually sitting together, the “deal” is gone. The worst part is exactly what you said. You...

Honestly expected chaos after all the recent complaints, but it was totally fine. Booked a basic fare for 5,500 points BOI to LAS just to burn some old points. Paid about $40 for EarlyBird, got A27, brought a roller bag. Flight was on a MAX with like 75 empty seats. No seat...

Bought a United ticket from SFO to TPE through Expedia for about $1300 and added their price drop protection for another $64. A little later I get an email from Expedia saying “you’re getting $833 back.” Great, right? I take the flight as planned. After the trip, I get another...

I know Spirit gets dunked on nonstop, but honestly if they ever go under it’s going to hurt regular travelers way more than people realize. I’ve seen so many routes where Spirit is like $49 one way and suddenly every other airline magically prices at $99 just to compete. Take...

Tried booking an international economy trip for the family and got quoted 7k per person from Delta for a simple domestic hop plus the long-haul on a partner. Basic economy too. Agent basically admitted the algorithm is set up to punish you for taking the direct routing this far...

Looking at flights to Athens and found a PDX → AMS → ATH option for about 550 bucks… but the exact same PDX → AMS leg on its own was showing 800. Makes zero sense on the surface. Kinda tempted to just book the cheaper itinerary and get off in Amsterdam instead of continuing on,...

Website shows my flight at 86 dollars, but I’m not sure if Spirit adds that passenger usage fee on top. Anyone know how much it usually comes out to per person? Also wondering if it’s cheaper to just buy it at the airport.

SLC to JFK on Delta costs more than flying JFK to Tokyo on JAL. Make that make sense. I’m Diamond with a Delta card, but honestly thinking of walking away. Feels like they cut routes, kept fewer nonstops, and jacked up prices anyway. “Thanks for the bailout, now here’s a $900...
