Protip - Cheaper flights

Here is a trick to get cheaper fares when looking for flights online. Always browse in private mode, for firefox press and hold ctrl + shift + P. This means carrier websites can't read your browsers cookies and change their pricing according to what you have previously looked at.

This is a major problem in the airline industry and is borderline price fixing.

  18. I wish they would just be honest about everything. Fortunately we have you to keep us informed. They always try to make us think that cookies are for our benefit, to 'personalize' the site, valuable suggestions, and even customized pricing since you can afford that trip to Fiji.

    One question: Would the price change after you logged in as yourself? I wonder how they determine who can afford what?
