Anywhere from 45% to 5% IMO. So you can almost always save $5, but sometimes you can save like $50+. That said, another big piece I didn't mention is that often you also are watching the rate day by day because timing is a big piece too.

Just by signalling interest by lingering and searching for the same flight multiple times a day I have bumped the price for the ticket that I was interested in.

Just a thought but I guess if the airline web services were overwhelmed with noise, they wouldn't be able to do such price adjustments reliably. The only risk is that this might bump the prices for everyone and it will turn out that consumers are not price sensitive enough to force airlines to not do this.
