Service to predict when buying airplane tickets with big data "FLYR"

Since the price is determined by the balance between supply and demand, the price of the air ticket is determined dramatically immediately before the flight, and conversely, the ticket itself is sold out, and furthermore, the situation is changed every moment as the ticket changes constantly There are many things to be done. The airline ticket search service that provides us with data that will be useful for us to anticipate whether we should buy an airline ticket now or wait a little longer with big data analysis and decide to purchase a ticket is "FLYR"is.

In "From" enter the departure airport. For example, if you enter "Osaka", candidates for airports in the area such as "Osaka Intl (ITM) (Osaka Airport)" and "Kansai (KIX) (Kansai International Airport)" are displayed, so if you click the airport It is OK.


Similarly, enter the destination airport to "To".


When "When" designate the flight schedule with the calendar. Clicking on two days in the calendar will round trip tickets, clicking on only one day will be able to specify only outbound tickets.


Specify the number of people by "1 Passenger" pull-down menu


Finally click "Search" to start ticket search.


Tickets that can be reserved have been listed all at once in cheap price. On the screen there is a notice that "Our predictions may not yet be fully supported on this route (this route can not be fully predicted)". Apparently the complete forecast is displayed mainly in the domestic airport, and it seems that the flight from Japan has not been fully followed.


As expected, "The forecast is not complete", the round trip ticket of the cheapest "928 dollar (about 110,000 yen)" is unpredictable.


However, when you click "+" of "Prediction (prediction)" of the second cheapest "942 dollar (about 113,000 yen)" ticket, the forecast was displayed in the graph. Of the three pie charts on the left, "Increase" indicates "possibility of being high", "No change" indicates "unchanged possibility", "Decrease" indicates "possibility of being cheap". And the graph on the right shows the forecast of the ticket price trend from today to 1 week later. Apparently, the ticket price seems to be rising.


"Sell Out" shows the possibility of being sold out, and the graph on the right shows sold out forecast until one week later.


"Better Deals" shows "the possibility of appearance of a better ticket" and the graph on the right shows the possibility that a good ticket will come out by one week. And considering the possibility that the ticket will be cheaper or the possibility of being sold out, the comprehensive judgment of "BUY" that we should buy now and "WAIT" should be waited now is given. This time it is "WAIT (waiting)".


In addition, if you move the mouse cursor to "Outbound" next to the ticket price, the airline company will be displayed.


When taking this ticket as it is, click "Book for (price)" on the right


Then the vacant seat is automatically checked ......


Jump to the site of the ticket company selling the cheapest ticket, so it is OK if you book.


Also, click "FareBeacon" ......


If you enter your e-mail address and click on "Activate!", You will be notified by e-mail if your ticket price or price trend forecast changes.


The service "FLYR" which judges whether it is "buying" or "waiting" in anticipation of the price change of the airline ticket is still not followed completely by the route whose destination is Japan's airport However, since convenience for the purpose of searching for the cheapest ticket is also good, for now, looking for a ticket in FLYR for the time being, if you have luck with good forecast of price change it seems to be helpful to refer to it.
