When it comes to travel advice, there are many common misconceptions to be found online.

“Airfare is incredibly volatile,” says Scott Keys, chief travel expert, Travel + Leisure. - It's always a surprise. And searching for tickets doesn't follow the same patterns as most other things we buy."

Indeed, there is a lot of bad travel advice out there, and yes, there are a few myths that everyone believes. To save you time, Scott's Cheap Flights has debunked three more booking myths.

No, your search history does not affect airfare prices

According to a flight search company, many people mistakenly believe that airlines are manipulating prices based on customers' past search queries. But "if that were true, the flight experts at Scott's Cheap Flights would have had a much harder time finding great deals," the company said in an email. “We conduct thousands of searches every day, day after day. If prices had risen based on these previous requests, we would have seen it,” they said.

Yes, the company adds that airlines and online travel agencies (OTAs) usually get access to a person's IP address, but the airline or OTA uses this information to provide precise location details such as language and currency, not to manipulate prices in depending on your activity.

If the price changes in the middle of the search, it is most likely a coincidence.

If a person sees significant changes in airfare between searches, Scotts Cheap Flights says it's most likely a coincidence.

“If the price changes between searches, this could be due to a number of factors,” the company says. He notes that prices fluctuate all the time, and it is possible that the price simply went up in the few minutes between searches. Then the price could rise due to demand.

“While airline websites and OTAs track things like your location, they don’t obsessively monitor your searches to secretly raise prices on flights they know you’re interested in,” the company said in a statement.
