I think that's a pretty good idea -

two quick thoughts:

1.as a consumer its hard to do more than "technical analysis" on a chart of the ticket price to figure out where to set your limit order

2. What are the odds that the company doing this doesn't share their order book with the airlines?

still like the idea

You don't do any analysis on the price. You just introspect, and figure out what is cheap enough to make you get up and fly, and that's the price you set.
