Why You Struggle to Find Cheap Flights

The struggle to find cheap flights is due to the complex pricing system of airlines. Factors include: 1. Interdependence of fares, where the price of one leg of the journey affects the price of the other. 2. The phenomenon of 'skip lagging', where adding an extra leg to the flight can sometimes decrease the price. 3. The infinite number of ways to book a trip, making it impossible to calculate the lowest price. 4. The presence of negation, self-reference, and infinity in the problem, making it theoretically unsolvable.
