Toky why did deleting cookies help you find a better flight price?

Sorry if I am being dim!

Well I thought I was going to have to go elsewhere abroad again in September due to the price of flights to Dalaman. However, after deleting cookies every time I went on flight sites, I've eventually managed to get a good priced 10 day flight after weeks of trying. So Johntaylor49, it wont be quiet in September coz I'll be there!!!! LOL. Don't know if deleting cookies makes any difference, but the prices certainly changed each time I logged on, this time in my favour.

omg! I have heard the rumours!

Fear not John!
Jo B, I read somewhere that if you frequently use sites as I've been doing recently (Easyjet, Jet2, ThomasCook), they recognise my searches because of cookies left previously, so know that my IP adrress is actively seeking a costing. Now I may be shot down in flames if this is not the case, but somehow it does make sense. It could just be coincidence but the outward price I got today was far cheaper than anything listed over the last few weeks. I deleted my cookies before logging on the their site. As I say, it could be owt or nowt, so don't take it as gospel.

True or not Toky, I've heard the same and always clear cookies if I've been doing a lot of searching on particular sites.

Just been doing a bit of searching, cleared cookies first, definitely better prices.  Will always do this in future before searching.  Thanks Toky.

You are right Toky.  If you go out and back into the same search the price has often gone up.  I spent some time watching holiday prices before we went to Mexico and found that the price went down on monday night or tuesday morning and went up at the weekend.  We got  all inclusive fortnight flying from Glasgow for under £1200 for both of us.  It was quoted at up to 1600 at times.

Sorry for kind of highjacking the thread, but as soons as I booked our outgoing flights this morning, I then logged back in without clearing cookies and the same flight was £30.70p dearer!
