Farecast is the next step. Using algorithms, this travel site predicts whether airfares will go up or down on your selected route. Farecast puts together vast computing power to make the call. This includes predictive assessments of demand and availability that lead to buy now or wait.

So now you see a price. It's OK. But you can get a quick assessment of whether it can be bought elsewhere (Orbitz, Cheaptickets).Whether other airline options are available (Sidestep Kayak) or whether the price you see may come down.(Farecast)

Different to take it or leave it, isn't?

This has to spread throughout markets everywhere.One caveat You have to assume that enough information is available to make informed decisions by the website.
