is it just me ??

has anyone else noticed the following with ALL airline web sites .......

you go and check a flight out on a airlines own website ( not flight finders or others like it ) you put in your dates and all other info and at the end you get the final price ( finally :-) ) ,
so you go and quickly check all dates match and are ok for you , find wallet and credit card ,
re enter details , and f2ck me the price has gone up , IN FIVE MINUTES !!!
every time !!

my wife just got stung for 90 euro in the time it took her 2 ring me and confirm a date , 90 f2ucking euro !!! and this was not even a budget airline

i have had this happen with at least 5 different airlines , i would wager the cnuts have software that tracks if somebody looks at a particular flight and take note because they now know your interested and when your return to book they bump the price up

and if they do , would it be legal because im getting a huge pain in my testicles with airlines and airports ripping me off.

Yes someone told me about this before.

ok so it looks like they do it then , so is it legal to change the price so drastically so quickly ??

also cookies may not do it , would it not be easy for them just to log your IP address ?? and im not using a proxy address to stop being ripped off

that is like a shop owner seeing you look in his shop window and rushing over and raising the price of the item you were looking at ,
and yes i know some will say i can use another airline but not all airlines fly to where i want to go so choice is very limited if any choice at all

bunch of blastards the lot of them :-(

Sometimes its cheaper to book seperate tickets for a group.
Last year I priced for 1 to give everyone an idea of travel costs.
When I proceeded to book as a group the price was €160 extra ,so i booked seperate.
Only thing was i had to pay a couple extra booking or handling charges.
But what do they handle?

This was on Joe Duffy not too long ago I think.

I've noticed with lastminute.com, the website sometimes suspiciously stops working when you click cheapest fare but works fine on the second cheapest. It's happened me the two times I've used them.

Its was only €7 extra on a €400 flight, but still a dick move if it happens on purpose.
