Fare trending chart...where did I see it?
 
I've been on about a zillion websites the past two weeks, and can't for the life of me recall which one I saw a chart (left hand side of the page) that showed the historic price trend for a specific flight or route, tracking back about 30 days or so...? Helped determine when to book, based on the trend curve.

I've circled back to several, not finding it on:
- Kayak
- Expert Flyer
- TripAdvisor (aka: Seat Guru)
- Airfare Watchdog

Seems the sidebar menu was dark blue, but that could be wildly inaccurate. My eyes are beginning to blur as I backtrack through pages in search of the chart.

Anyone have a clue where this is?

Bing travel has one. Www.bing.com

Do a fare Search in KAYAK
In the upper Left Hand corner you should see a Price Trend chart
Above it is the TOOLBOX
Open, if not already open
Click on FARE CHARTS

Thank you, thank you...turns out Kayak was the one I recalled. Didn't realize Bing had something like this too (still can't find it).

Any idea how reliable the Kayak chart is?

Sorry, was posting in a hurry..the Bing one is at http://www.bing.com/travel look for "Price Predictor". No idea about how accurate either of them are.

No worries...I com-plete-ly understand posting on the fly (no pun intended). ;)

Truth be told, I didn't realize Bing had a travel page. You learn something new every day...!
