When it comes to prices and search for flights, there are quite a few common misconceptions that arise and pop up all over the net.
Travel and Leisure, for example, cites three myths, and "breaks" them with the help of Scott Keyes, an aviation expert and founder of Scott's Cheap Flights.
"Flight ticket prices tend to be incredibly volatile," Keys says.
"They move like yo-yo, so they do not meet the patterns of most of the products we tend to purchase."
For him, there are quite a few myths on the subject, since everyone wants to get the best price, so why not try everything we hear about it?
Here are three myths, related to each other, that Keys breaks easily.

Myth One: Your search history affects the price of your flight
Not true.
Many mistakenly assume that airlines are manipulating flight prices based on our previous network searches.
"If that were really true, our flight experts would have a really hard time closing lucrative deals," Keys says.
"Every day, we do thousands of flight searches. If prices had gone up because of previous search history, they would have noticed."
However, airlines and online travel agencies certainly use our IP address, but they do so in order to get accurate details about our location, and to examine what language and currency we use.
They do not do this to influence the prices presented to us.

Myth Two: If the price changes while searching, it's not coincidental
Wrong, this is definitely a coincidence.
If you are witnessing a significant price change between searches, then this is a complete coincidence.
"If the price changes, there are several factors. For example, because of a demand that rises suddenly. After all, if a seat on a flight is sold, the price for the next seat goes up."

Myth Three: You need to clear "cookies" and look for a flight in incognito mode
Not true.
Both of these actions will not affect the price of your flight.
On the other hand, there are some things you can definitely do to save money.
First, it is highly recommended to look for a flight at a time called the "Golden Window".
That is, look for an international flight 8-2 months before the time you want to fly.
In addition, it is advisable to perform a flexible search in terms of departure and return dates, and give up flying in the most requested hours.
And just as important: you will always be ready to click immediately, without hesitation, on a good deal that pops up in front of you on the screen.
