Rant: I saved $400 on a flight to Tokyo by booking on a Tuesday night

Last month I was checking flights every day for a week and the price never moved. Then at 11pm on a Tuesday, the direct flight from LAX dropped from $1200 to $800. I grabbed it instantly. Anyone else find weirdly specific times when airline prices actually drop?

My Tuesday deals always pop up around 3pm, not late at night like @daniel593 said.

Wait, you were checking at ELEVEN PM? That's the real trick, I'm never awake that late. Gotta set an alarm just to check flight prices now.

Yeah @black.pat, feels like everything runs on some weird secret schedule these days.
