Clear your browser's cookies before booking flights online - Airline tip

by Rob Blasko (RSS feed) on Feb 15th 2010 at 9:37PM

Many airlines and travel web sites (such as Expedia, Kayak, etc.) track how many times you've visited their websites. In so doing, they provide different offers and deals depending on the user.

To make sure you're getting the best prices when you book air travel online, be sure to clear your web browser's cookies and cache. This will make it appear as if it's your first time visiting these sites, and you're likely to see much better prices for your next flight!

Great and surprising tip. I've noticed that two different browsers display different prices. Firefox is my standard browser, which allows cookies, etc. I use Safari for banking. However, there's a difference of almost €45 for flights from AMS to almost anywhere. So now I check Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Camino for the best price.
