Flight Price Predictor
Flight Price Predictor is a service that helps you forecast the price of a flight ticket for the dates you want to travel.
With the flight cost predictor, you'll be shown all the flight prices and the best time to book your next trip away for that month. If the predictor tool tells you to hold, then it's likely that flight prices will drop.
On average you can save £50/$60 per trip. The way the tool predicts the prices of flights is by comparing previous price patterns for the airline you want to fly with, the dates and the destinations.
Our Flight Price Predictor tool isn't available yet - we recommend using our Best Fare Finder tool instead. With the help of the best fare finder, you can find the cheapest days to fly within the month.
Please note that the Flight Price Predictor tool is currently unavailable on our site.

Why do airlines change their flight prices?
There are so many different reasons that determine the price of a flight ticket. This includes the time of booking, the day of the week and the demand.
Flight fares are likely to increase closer to the date of the departure as the aircraft has fewer seats available. Therefore since passengers want to travel, airlines will take advantage and increase flight fares. If you want to find out more read our 'How Airlines Price Their Flights' blog.
How does the flight price predictor estimate flight prices?
The flight price predictor estimates flight fares by comparing previous prices of flights for the dates and destinations.
The flight cost predictor will also look at different airlines' previous flight fares to find out when is the best time to book flights so you can secure the cheapest deal.
When do flight prices drop?
Flight prices tend to drop at different times:
- Early in the week (Tuesdays & Wednesdays) is when airlines often drop ticket prices, making it a good time to find deals.
- Off-peak seasons like late winter (after the holidays) or fall.
- 6-8 weeks before departure for domestic flights.
- Late night or early morning when fewer people are searching for flights.
- After a sales announcement, when airlines compete with each other over in-demand routes.
Are flight price tracker and flight price predictor the same?
No, although they are very similar tools. Here's the difference between the two:
- A Flight Price Predictor tool forecasts future price changes based on historical data, trends and market analysis. It can help you find out whether to book now or wait, by estimating if prices will rise or fall in the coming days or weeks.
- A Flight Price Tracker looks at the current price of a flight over time and alerts you when the price changes. It's designed to keep you updated on live fluctuations rather than predicting future flight prices.
How accurate is the flight price predictor?
At Alternative Airlines, we will always aim to provide the most up-to-date information with our Flight Price Predictor tool.
While our Flight Price Predictor tool will be pretty accurate, it won't be flawless! Our tool will provide valuable insights based on historical flight prices and patterns. The following factors can affect the accuracy of this data:
- Airline pricing strategies - Many airlines frequently adjust their prices based on demand, competition and other factors. These changes can often be unpredictable, making it difficult for our tool to accurately forecast future ticket prices.
- External events - Events like natural disasters, economic downturns and geopolitical tensions can impact flight prices, making it challenging for our tool to provide accurate forecasts.
Does the predictor work for all airlines and routes?
Our Flight Price Predictor tool will work with a wide range of airlines and routes, however, data accuracy will depend on the airline and route.
Some factors can influence the accuracy of the predictions:
- Airline pricing policies - Some airlines might have more complex pricing strategies that are harder to estimate.
- Route popularity - Popular routes are easier to predict as there is more historical ticket pricing data available.
- Seasonal demand - Seasonal fluctuations in demand can affect ticket prices, especially for really popular destinations.
