Why do prices vary so much from flexible dates to exact dates?
I was checking flights on Travelocity to Bangkok from Los Angeles
using flexible dates search. The prices were in some cases several hundred dollars less than exact dates search. Why is their such a discrepancy? My trip will probably be in August. |

Why is their such a discrepancy? My trip will probably be in August. The flexible date search shows the lowest fare listed during the covered period. It may not be available on the days you want to travel (because people have snapped them up, or because the airline withdrew it on those days, or because it was never valid on those days). It's possible that the only remaining itineraries are ridiculous (LAX-BKK on Monday, BKK-LAX Wednesday the same week). It's possible that there isn't any availability and their cache hasn't caught up with that yet. Anyway, you can just click through to the little calendars and see what dates are available at those fares. miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu |
