Why fares move
Airline pricing on diaspora corridors responds to booking curves: families book early for fixed events (weddings, school holidays, Ramadan), which pushes advance fares up; airlines then adjust to fill the remaining seats. Fuel, capacity changes and Gulf-hub competition add the rest of the movement.
What you can actually control
You cannot control airline pricing, but you can control three things: flexibility of dates (shifting by a few days often matters more than the airline you pick), how early you start watching (months, not days, for peak windows), and avoiding the most expensive departure days inside school-holiday windows.
The honest advice
No tool can promise a future price. Fare watching replaces anxious daily searching with a clear picture and a decision point: if the trend is falling, wait; if it is rising toward your event, book. The demo radar shows exactly this shape with sample data.
