Vent: My flight to Lisbon used to cost $900, now it's $450

Honestly, I was looking at flights for a trip next spring and saw the price was half what I paid two years ago. The big change was switching my search from a Tuesday to a Wednesday departure and using the 'flexible dates' calendar on Google Flights. Ngl, I always thought that was a gimmick, but it saved me a ton. Has anyone else found a specific day that's consistently cheaper for flying to Europe?

Call that a win? You just got lucky with a random Wednesday. Those flexible date tools are mostly useless noise that just shows you the same prices in a different layout. I fly to Frankfurt for work all the time and the prices jump around so much that no specific day is ever cheaper for more than a week. You can't plan a real trip around that.

So you're saying the price swings are too fast for any tool to actually help?
