Will the price of the ticket go down in miles or cash?

Airlines use dynamic pricing for tickets (miles or cash). This means that the price can fluctuate wildly between one day and the next.

If you are unsure about making the purchase, you may have the option to place the itinerary on hold at checkout while you think about the decision.

For cash tickets, you can use Google Flights to understand whether the current price is low, typical, or high, as well as receive e-mail tracking of the price. This will allow you to also call in and request a refund if the price drops.

For miles tickets, you can use tools such as PointsYeah to track and set alerts.
