Posted: December 3, 2006

this is too cool. i have known about it for a while so i am a little ashamed that i haven’t post it sooner.

i took this explanation straight from their website

farecast.com is the first airfare prediction website. we help online travel shoppers save money by answering the question; should you buy now or wait? in our beta version, we now offer airfare predictions from over 75 U.S. departure cities to top domestic destinations.

how it works: a fare prediction shows if the lowest fare is rising or dropping over the next seven days for the specific dates and cities searched. each prediction includes the following elements:

1. arrow: an indication of whether the lowest fare is rising, dropping, or staying the same.

2. confidence: a percentage based on our track record for similar predictions for the market searched.

3. average fare change: an amount reflecting the average fare change recorded when similar predictions were correct for the market.

4. buying tip: our recommendation based on the prediction information.
