Do they have access to special travel agent systems we dont have, are airlines distributing this stock to their agent network or is it just a matter of searching for sales and anomalies ie anyone could do the same thing on skyscanner?
Always been curious
Cheers
Proof? To me it seems like:
The trick seems to be the access to the inventory not an algorithm.
Perhaps access to distributions or other airline/aggregation APIs, coupled with some thresholds or AI to look for anomalies (e.g. cost well below trend)?
Yeah thats what i thought too but it seems like these smaller online agents do it more than the big players. I'd have thought the big players would be the ones with that kind of access and tech.
Unless these guys are all built off skyscanner in the backend?
hire 10 guys from Nigerian to constantly check prices for random cities on random dates to get u the best prices
also help you find lost inheritances at the same time
Spend hours using ITA Matrix.
its a rather complex algorithm
