Google Flights Adds Fare Expiration Feature…

People constantly ask why ticket prices go up and down so frequently. A main reason is that different fares have different expiration dates. Often, the very best fares have very “limited time” engagements, so when people search one day and come back the next, they find the price landscape is very different. Google Flights now shows expiration info, like “this fare expires tomorrow and prices are likely to rise”, which can be hugely helpful in knowing when to buy. It’s much more beneficial than the “only one seat left at this price”, which is often….bull.
