Farecast predicts where prices will be and guides with the use of a confidence rating - it tells you to buy or wait. After using the service four times now, I am a true believer in its accuracy.

For example, about a month ago I looked up a flight to San Antonio, the price for a round trip ticket was $474. I waited as Farecast predicted prices would go even higher - with in a week they jumped to $502. I waited some more because Farecast told me prices would drop by $100. What is really nice is that I set up email alerts to track the price levels. One day I got an alert to Buy! Prices dropped to just under $400. But Farecast had a 60% confidence level that prices could drop by another $50. I waited. Then I got another email indicating a strong buy as prices would soon climb to back over $450. I bought a round trip ticket at $389 two weeks ago. I still get the email alerts however and see now the prices are back up to $474.

Farecast, my favorite!
