Why do the ticket prices of flights fluctuate so much?

561 views

Even the same flight going up and down confuses me. I can understand the price raising as demand for that particular flight goes up, (even though that’s a dumb system) but why would it go back down?

1. A business charging as much as people are willing to pay is “a dumb system”?
2. As for “why would it go back down” – because no one bought it at the higher price they were hoping to get, and now the flight is soon, and getting *any* money for it is better than flying with an empty seat so they lower the price again.
