Just as an experiment, I tried looking for a trip on hipmunk that I have booked for 10 days from now. Prices start arund $1000 per leg, about 250% higher than what I paid (coincidentally for the same flight).

That's a terrible experiment, fares almost always go up as you get closer to the departure date. If you want to do that, check the same thing on the airline's own site.

In my experience hipmunk isn't more expensive than any other site. In fact, every site will quote you the same darn price for the same darn flight, because airline fares are a lot more formalized than most people seem to be assuming.



You're right, but it would have been anecdote either way.

BTW, that's not my experience at all. My experience is every site quotes a completely different price.
