Tip: Save Money On Airline Tickets
What do web browsers and buying airplane tickets have in common? Cookies. So how do you save cash? Use private browsing mode (also known as incognito mode). One of redditors shared an interesting story on how various companies artificially inflate prices and how can you beat them.
Here’s what he had to say:
When purchasing items on the Internet (especially airline tickets), use incognito mode on your browser.
We use your own cookies against you: raising the price on tickets the more times you check, as you shop around for better deals. That way you’ll think the price is going up or that seats are being actively sold – thus increasing your urgency to buy, and punishing you for trying to get a good deal.
Enjoy the savings.

Something’s missing in this text: who is “he” for example?
I was under the impression that cookies etc are saved in private browsing mode, and then automatically deleted when closed? For example Google Chrome states *Cookies are not cleared until you close all incognito* tabs. This is a waste of time.
Also don’t use a Mac, iPhone or Safari browser. It’s a well known fact prices are upto 10% more when these UserAgents are detected, as it’s uses the logic that these owners have less frugal with their money.
this is so cruel, thanks for this guy for sharing it
