Flight Purchasing Tips Needed

[nicole.edith]

I check everything and everywhere I can when I am looking for flights for trips. This is my first JA trip but I've Greece twice, Germany, Mexico City, Dublin and a number of States trips recently. I have found the best deals in different places every time. For this JA trip we used Expedia because with the hotel, the trip was only $50 more than just the flight alone on the airline's website for the exact same flight! Just be diligent about checking once or twice a day, delete cookies, check from different computers, etc.

Ditto what nicole.edith suggested, delete cookies, temp internet files if you are "checking frequently" (another good suggestion from others). They track you, see you are interested and bump the price. Best we have found from BNA is using Southwest/Air Tran but cannot book yet since our next reach is April.

I really had no idea!

I read it in a travel article on how to get the best deal on airline flights some time back but if you google something like "do airlines track your internet search" you can find plenty of articles that support this business tactic/model. Really it only makes sense for them to do so.
You can also swap up like do a search with Firefox then IE then Chrome but once you have used all 3 for a single search start deleting cookies and temp files.

Try using Matrix.com. They dont sell tickets, but give you the tiketing codes which you can give to
a travel agent, or go directly to carriers website. The site covers all IATA member airlines. It is the
most comprehensive site i have seen on the internet.
