Predictive airline pricing was so awfulfollowed kayak's advice according to their "forecast" (which I now realize never says anything but BUY) and like weeks later the same exact flight is $cheaper (lost $a person)So frustrating, deceiving, and actually heartbreaking, $is a ton of money to be scammed out ofNever trusting or buying through Kayak againI heard *** is coming out with a predictive forecast, hopefully it's not awful like Kayak

KAYAK is a travel

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: A business should not post a price that is less than 2/3rd of the actual price unless they have assurances from the vendor that, should the vendor raise its price significantly, the customer can reverse the transaction The business of posting prices and then forcing the customer to either pay $more for the second leg or pay $cancellation fee without obtain the service desired, is not ethicalI think this activity does not serve the public interest and should be stopped
