Southwest price predictor

To make airfare predictor more helpful, we decided to accompany our recommendations with a tool that shows the price range and the confidence level regarding the best moment to buy your Southwest tickets. Moreover, we will tell you if it's best to wait or book your Southwest tickets now and if not what are the chances of price drop. AirHint is all about great flight predictions and deals!

Why is our tool unique?

Because our airfare predictions were designed for airlines which change prices frequently such as Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air and Southwest to discover the price patterns of one airline at a time and this can only mean an increased accuracy prediction. While the other price comparison websites base their predictions on a general one-size-fits-all model, we customize our tool depending on the airline's flight price patterns. The number of flights may be a bit more limited, but this is a small price to pay for the high accuracy of predictions. We're all about cheap prices!

Why do airlines change prices so often?

This is a great question. Airlines change ticket prices frequently depending on several factors, such as the flight's popularity, the season, school holidays, special events and above all, the balance between supply and demand of seats. Budget airlines usually start with default higher price and adjust airfares depending on current demand. AirHint wants to be one step ahead of these changes! Our team is dedicated to find ticket price pattern and predict price changes for the flights of Southwest and other airlines.

How can I book a flight?

We partner with flight booking affiliates (OTAs) to handle ticket bookings. For Southwest our partners enable booking the selected flight and also show various alternatives.

Where can I see the cheapest deals for each route?

Our cheapest flight deals page is regularly updated with the best deals for all the popular routes.

To trust or not to trust

Your vote of confidence is important to us, so we do our best to earn your trust and respect. We provide statistical recommendations and, as in all cases based on statistics, there is a margin of error. Airlines like Southwest change ticket prices often, and sometimes no one can predict their behavior in relation to this matter. So it is not possible to guarantee 100% accuracy. However, objective and informed hints are definitely possible and this is exactly what we offer. AirHint is your best chance to find deals and get the best price for your Southwest flight.
