Too difficult.

Let's say the price on day 1 is £500, then on day 2 it's £510. Do you cancel and rebook? Unlikely. Then on day 3 it's £450. Whoops! Too late.

Or on day 1 it's £500, day 2 it's £500 (and so on until day 10). Do you cancel and rebook 10 times?

(I may have thought about this previously 😁 )
