Why You Should Check The Price Of Flights AFTER You Book
Every time you book a flight you have that sinking feeling that the price is going to go down tomorrow. Murphy’s law says it’s going to happen … so what do you do? 68 percent of the time, ticket prices do drop within that 24-hour window,according to a recent study from Hopper, and on average, this price is 14 percent lower than the original. Ouch … That hurts! What most people don’t realize is that you can cancel your flight for FREE within 24 hours of booking. It’s a federal rule for airlines to give passengers a full refund if they choose to cancel their flights within 24 hours of booking, provided they book more than seven days before their trip (Technically, the rule says that airlines must either hold a reservation at a quoted fare for 24 hours OR allow passengers to cancel within 24 hours. Most airlines take the second option, though some, like American, have “hold” programs that allow customers to put a ticket on hold for 24 hours before booking.)
