My brother just told me he books flights on Tuesday at 3pm and I think he's full of it

Oh man, I had a buddy who was dead serious about this. He booked all his flights at exactly 3pm on a Tuesday for like two years straight. Even set a phone alarm and everything. One time he missed it by five minutes and got all stressed out thinking he'd lose fifty bucks or something. The price didn't actually change. He stopped doing it after that.

My cousin swears by that Tuesday afternoon trick too. I've never seen it actually work for me though. The whole thing feels like a travel myth.

Yeah, the "travel myth" part is spot on. I mean, I've tried all those little hacks over the years, like clearing cookies or using incognito mode. It always feels like you're just chasing a rumor and the prices barely move. Maybe airlines just change stuff whenever they feel like it.
