My friend swore by booking flights on a Tuesday night, so I tried it for a trip to Miami.

She said to check around 10 PM for the best deals. I did that for three weeks straight and the prices never dropped below what I saw on a Monday afternoon. Ended up booking on a random Thursday for $50 less than the so-called 'magic' Tuesday price. Has anyone else found that old flight hack just doesn't work anymore?

Three weeks of checking at 10 PM sounds like a brutal experiment!

Yeah, it's the kind of thing that seems easy until you're the one trying to fall asleep at 9:45 knowing you can't look. Messes with your head after a few days. I'd probably cave and start checking at 9:59 just to get it over with.

The 9:59 check is the real test of willpower. It's like your brain decides the rules are just a suggestion at that point. Honestly, the whole thing sounds like a form of torture.
