Price drop mid search! How lucky can you get?

This has happened to me twice now and i'm beginning to feel a little spoiled.

Last july my mom planned a last minute trip to Vegas for her birthday and I was scoping out plane tickets and they were all over $500 so i was delaying making the plunge.
I looked one minute than I went back to see what the cost was with miles (still too many to justify) so i went back to looking using cash again and the price had dropped over $150 in just a matter of 5 minutes.

Just the other day I was looking at plane tickets out to California the flight times i was hoping for were at the high end of $500 which for a last minute trip means i'm not going. This is just a fun trip mind you so getting a good deal is preferable. I scoped out a few other airlines most of which were the same or some even higher.
So i went back to my handy dandy airline and look at miles, which were one of the lowest miles rates possible so i was thinking well i can use the miles (though i was planning on saving them for a rainy day) I go back and double check the cash option again (because i amm indecisive) and voila over $200 cheaper.
$335 from Flint to John Wayne (including all taxes and fee's).

Now i don't know what kind of deals y'all find, but that sure made me excited!
So when you're scoping out plane tickets just know there is hope and dreams come true!

That was all on Delta Airlines by the way.

What airline did the price drop? I'll have to remember to check back a few minutes later to see if the price changes.

Out of all that i forgot to say which airline it was Delta for each.

That happened to me on Delta, though not within minutes. I had been searching and searching for a flight LAX->MCO and they were all well over $400. Checked one day (while I was waiting for a parade at Disneyland actually), and the ticket was $237. Jumped on that one pretty quick.

You see good deals and you have to hurry because they can change in a second

I completely agree. A flight I was looking at went from $99 to $271 while I was checking out last week. Couldn't believe it. I even called and they confirmed the higher price. Normally American and United are the same price for the same time frame, so I jumped over to United's site and grabbed the $99 flight that remained. I checked about an hour later just to see and that flight had also jumped to $271. I much prefer Southwest, but the times just didn't work for this trip.
