  1. When Google Flights labels a fare as low, typical or high, what is it comparing the current price against?
    • The fare on the airline's own website that day
    • The cheapest fare on any route from your airport
    • Historical prices for that route
    • The average fare across all airlines worldwide
  2. Why can a fare jump suddenly between two searches a few minutes apart?
    • The last seats in a cheaper fare bucket sold
    • The site noticed you searched twice and raised the price
    • Fares only change at midnight local time
    • Price tracking alerts make fares rise
  3. What does the guide say about searching in incognito mode to get lower fares?
    • It reliably saves around ten percent
    • It only works on budget airlines
    • It is required for price tracking to work
    • There is no reliable evidence that it lowers fares
  4. What is the main risk of a self-transfer itinerary built from separate tickets?
    • It always costs more than a single ticket
    • You are unprotected if a late first flight makes you miss the next one
    • Airlines ban carry-on bags on separate tickets
    • It cannot be booked through search sites
  5. Why does the guide warn against hidden-city ticketing?
    • It is only available for first-class fares
    • It requires checking a bag
    • It breaks most airlines' terms and can get your remaining flights cancelled
    • It always adds an overnight layover
  6. How does the guide recommend using a chatbot that cannot search live fares?
    • For strategy and comparing total cost, not for quoting prices
    • For booking tickets directly
    • For finding secret fares airlines do not publish
    • For guaranteeing the lowest price on a date

    • New seasonal routes with few flights
    • Busy routes with a lot of historical price data
    • Routes served by a single small airline
