How we calculated this
We analyzed reliable hourly fare observations from TripManta trackers. In the latest 90-day window, we identified 5,868 qualifying price drops and compared them with one check each day at 09:00 UTC. A drop qualified when the fare fell by at least $5.
- The 1,413,055 observations cover the frozen study's complete reliable history.
- The 5,868-drop result uses the latest 90-day window, from April 19 through July 18, 2026.
- "Found" means the lower fare appeared in the recorded price history.
- It does not mean an email was delivered or that someone booked the fare.
