14. Too Low a Fare
Yes, there can be such a thing as too low a fare! If there is a chance that you might need to make changes to your ticket, maybe you are better advised to buy a less restricted ticket that is easier to change in the future. You need to understand the restrictions on any given fare, and also how much more (or how little more!) it might cost to get a more flexible fare.

There is no such thing as the 'Lowest Fare'
You might think, after reviewing these fourteen issues, that finding the 'lowest' airfare is impossibly difficult. The truth is even worse - it is plain impossible!
The airlines themselves make changes to their available fares literally every second, and, of course, tickets are being sold (and sometimes cancelled) every second as well. Price the same itinerary twice in a row and you might get two very different prices, because the 'truth has changed' in the split second between the first and second fare quote.
It has been common for everyone to blame travel agents for 'not finding the lowest fare' (but how does anyone know, for sure, what the lowest fare is?); this is not fair.
Interestingly, similar studies are now finding broad differences in fare pricing in websites as well! Blame the airlines for making it impossible to reliably know, from one minute to the next, what the lowest fare is.
Finding the lowest fare is an impossible quest that can soak up hours and hours of research and frustration on your part.
The time cost to you in finding a fare that may or may not be lower almost certainly exceeds the savings that may eventuate. But if you're insistent on finding the lowest fare, yourself, then follow the fourteen steps above and you'll be sure to get close to the best fare possible!
