@CStamp I haven't tested this but I hear if you book the same flight from a different country/area it could change price also. That sounds confusing but say you want a flight from Dallas to NY. If you book while in Dallas you will get one price but if you use a VPN to connect from say Colombia and try to book the same flight you could get a lower price.
As I said, I didn't test it but airline fees are stupid and inconsistent.

@CStamp I worked in the business and there is not a single solution. For example, some booking systems increase the price based on the total number of the queries. Clearing the browser and going through reservation as the new customer would not help at all.

@CStamp For me the biggest surprise is that they make it that easy. I had been under the impression most of these companies were using IP addresses, geolocation, advanced browser fingerprinting, and search history correlation to identify people even across cache clears and different browsers.

@CStamp same thing happens with hotels and untaxed hotels. But they also up prices when people search a lot or can't make up their minds, eg. https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1168 so clearing cache might also make it worse (or, from Airbnb's perspective, better)

@CStamp this is really something i like about direct bookings with lufthansa/austrian, at least in central europe.
same price, all the time. no matter what device/ISP and number of requests.
not the cheapest, but reliable pricing.

@CStamp Wait until you hear about what they put into the atmosphere. That’s some really crazy shit.

@kkarhan @CStamp @Bundesverband idk about Germany, in Spain it happens. Try to search several times for the same flight, its price should go up. If you try tell me because it would be interesting to know if it depends on the country

@CStamp same for train tickets. too many people looking at the same tickets changes the price. the many people could be you looking again and again...
sometimes it´s cheaper to book until the next city across the boarder because their are cheaper EU travel tickets.
mobile apps tend to be more expensive then using a desktop. apple used to be more expensive because people buying apple products have more money.

@kkarhan @luckychronic @CStamp @Bundesverband all I find for DE is a case against Amazon based on scraping price data from elsewhere. If their algorithm does not use prices from other vendors (directly?) then they can modify price dynamically. As far as I could find

@CStamp I also read that prices vary depending on the device you use and your location... AKA: more expensive for someone with expensive tech gear in an affluent country. I often do flight reservations with my 12 year old Macbook Air using a VPN from a country with a low GDP
