Pricing Strategy That Could Take A Bite Out Of Your Wallet

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It is the price you pay for being thrifty. The cost of being deliberate. It is a widely used system that will drive you crazy and it is rooted in the airline industry: dynamic pricing.

It can cause airline ticket prices to fluctuate, and not just because you're getting closer to your travel date. Steve Crandall, who's been a travel agent for 27 years, said even he doesn't fully understand how it works.

"It is just like any other industry; it is supply and demand," said Crandall.

It's sort of supply and demand, but sometimes you are actually competing against yourself. George Hobica, an industry analyst, said the system discriminates.

"It is fair if you get a great airfare. It is not fair if you don't," said Hobica.

The system is based on the computer technology and algorithms.
