The change in airfare tickets based on the weekday and the continent
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to help
people understand the different theories that exist
and to prove if any of the theories are actually
effective when buying an airplane ticket. A research
was conducted to have a better understanding of
the different theories regarding the topic. Two
countries per continent were selected and the price
for them was searched in Hopper daily. On a
spreadsheet, I kept track of the changes in price for
the analysis. The study revealed that prices
changed the most on Thursdays and Sundays. The
conclusion of the project was that there are too
many factors to take into consideration when
buying an airplane ticket.
