Assuming you're on google.com/flights, I'm fairly sure that using a VPN, changing your IP, flushing your cookies... none of that should change the availability and pricing you see on Flights.

And no, don't bother trying to time your bookings. It's kinda like the stock market; trying to beat the market, er, optimize your flights purchase time is likely to lead to sorrow and regret. From the research our Google Flights team did recently, we found that if you wait a week, on average you're gonna pay more for the same flight.

And no, we didn't see any universal discount on Tuesdays, either ;)

Actually If you save your itineraries you can see daily price change graph in saved flights view (star icon). A recent feature, small but interesting.
ah, good point, low_battery; I like that feature, too!
