My neighbor just saved me $200 on a flight to Chicago

I was complaining about flight prices for a trip next month, and he asked if I tried searching on a Tuesday night. He said airlines often drop prices around 8 PM on Tuesdays to fill seats. I checked last night and found a round trip for $180, down from the $380 I saw over the weekend. Has anyone else had luck with this specific timing trick?

My buddy Jake snagged a cheap flight to Denver using that same Tuesday night trick.

That Tuesday night thing is real but it's dying. Airlines caught on and now use dynamic pricing bots that change fares every few hours. Saw a flight jump $80 while I was checking hotel prices last week. The real move now is clearing your cookies or using incognito mode before you search. Those trackers see you looking and bump the price up.

Always thought that was a myth, but @keith164 is right.
