I had to buy a plane ticket which costed 80 $, and since I needed to do two super quick checks before buying it I obviously waited a month. Plane ticket is now 280 $. Cheers

I know what that feels like. I regularly pay upto 2-4x for plane tickets, because I always put them to the last second.

Sending much love your way friend, hope your days get easier.

Plane tickets are so fucked right now it doesn’t even matter. I was looking at tickets to go to India next January for my wedding, and they are $2000-$3000 for a shitty 14 hour flight on a plane where nothing works. I say two to three thousand, as they went up that much within 15 minutes of me looking at different dates.

You probably already know this, but if you’re watching ticket prices, try to check from a different phone or laptop each time. As in, check with your phone one day, your computer the next week, and while you’re at work the week after. Something about ISP tracking or something means that prices can go up if the site knows you’re watching, but if you’re looking from a different location each time, to the website you look like a different person, so the price won’t inflate as quickly.

I have never found this to be true even though I typically do this anyway. Maybe it's just the sites I use.
