Airline prices and hotel rates are ever-changing. You may have noticed that different rates are presented to you based on your online behavior. These seesaw like travel rates are not just a figment of your imagination. Most major companies use “dynamic pricing” to adjust the rates they offer online to reflect how much customers are willing to pay.  To outsmart dynamic pricing you might want to clear your search history and clearing your browser’s cookies before pushing through with your booking.
