Every seat on a flight can be a different price.
That means the people sitting on both sides of you could have paid much more… or much less!
Why?
Well… it’s complicated.

There are many ways to save money when traveling.
You should always plan ahead and be properly prepared. If you can, you should also try and travel during the slow months for each location. Your savings may also come down to how far in advance you make a reservation.
Much like renting a car or booking a hotel room, there are other major factors that your price typically depends on. These include:
- Competition on Route
- Seat Demand
- Distance of Route
- Seat Supply
- Fuel Prices
These factors are logical and make sense. Unfortunately, that’s not where it stops.
