Hello,

I am still new here so I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong topic.

I understand that fares change everyday, but is there a set time with all airlines?

Does it happen at midnight, or does each airline change thier fares whenever they feel like it.

The reason I ask is because my wife and I are flying to MSP from SAT and we were searching fares for a few days and saw fares as low as 177 RT and around 355 RT for the same flights.

To me it seems like a rollercoster ride. We tought we missed the 177 fare because the next day it went back up to 300, but a few days later it went back down to 177 and it hasn't been back since. Needless to say the wife and I jumped on the low fare before it would go up again.

Now I would like to buy a ticket for my mother for the same flights that me and my wife are riding but her fare is at about 310. The other day it was at 371.

I have noticed that Fridays and Mondays seem to have the lowest fares is that ture? Because I have made a reservation with AA and they are holding my seats until 11:59am Thursday. Should I let them go and try to see if the fares drop tommorrow, or should I buy it at 310 before it goes up?

Thanks alot for all of the vast amout of travel information throughout this website!
