Update: Noticed a weird thing about booking flights on Tuesday

I always heard you should book flights on a Tuesday for cheaper rates. But after tracking prices for a month (just out of curiosity), the best deals popped up on Sunday nights. It saved me like a hundred bucks on my next trip. Now I'm wondering if the old advice is just wrong, or if it changes a lot.

Remember hearing the same Tuesday tip. Started checking prices at like 2 AM once because I couldn't sleep. Found a crazy price drop on a Wednesday morning out of nowhere. Felt like the algorithms just do whatever they want. Makes you wonder if any of the old rules still work.

Totally feel you on the algorithms doing whatever, @paul_sanchez. It's like they get bored and just throw a random Tuesday rule out the window sometimes. I've given up trying to find a pattern.

My friend caught a price drop on a Monday (pure chance, like your Wednesday story).
