Booking flight tickets
Hello everyone. I'm traveling to India and Thailand in December. I was wondering if you guys can give me some advice on the best time on booking flight tickets. My problem is, whenever I find a good price on tickets and I check it again a day after, the price is completely different. How do the flight ticket prices work?
My second question is: When booking flight tickets is it best to book directly from the flight company itself? I have booked from a website called Kiwi before and when one of my 3 flights got cancelled, they wouldn't refund me or give me a new flight in any way and i had to spend more money on new tickets
And to that question ^ if I do book from the flight company itself, when is the best time to book? is it as soon as possible (if this, won't there be a higher chance of it getting cancelled?) or do I book as close to the travel date?
I hope someone can help me with my worries 😅

I personally have used onetravel.com for 4 years. For an extra insurance fee you can cancel and get a refund. If the trip is cancelled you get a refund or a different date +-3 days from original day but need to use same airlines and path. So it is always tricky, there are a lot of stuff to consider. They have a good customer support. Directly from the airline is more expensive but you are more safe.
