Finding flights and computer cookies

[TammyLynn33]

Hi All
I need to rebook my flights . I have no option and am only getting about half in credit and flights are going up
Every time I go to jet blue it repopulates my dates etc. Prices are exact same past couple times I’ve checked . Will I ever see cheaper prices or no?
do I need to search on a different computer? I’d hate to miss on a sale if they have me locked in at that price ?
thanks

try using a private window/stealth mode. then you’ll know for sure.

you can also set an alert with google flights to track prices. you’ll get an email if the price changes.

If you go on your "internet properties",there's a tab to delete your temporary internet files,clear your cookies and browsing history.If you've never cleared your temp files, you will notice your computer will be much faster.

For what it's worth, I have experimented my last couple of trips searching normally, erasing cookies, using privacy modes, trying different browsers and using different devices. Also, used various websites including 3rd party sites like Expedia.

I have yet to have a different flight, hotel or car rental price come up when I check at the same time.

Maybe other people have had a different experience but I think i'm starting to think it may be more myth than anything.

I concur! This is how I feel as well!

With flights, if you don't like the price and you have time before you need to book, wait. The prices are changing all the time. If you're flying with a US carrier there is a sweet spot around 4 months(I think) that gets you the lowest price (if they aren't already sold out)

I have searched on my home computer, my phone on data plan and my husbands on a different data plan and they all brought up the same price.

Thanks guys I went ahead and booked as I wee as lucky enough to reschedule my dvc nights and my flight days were pretty necessary at this point as the night we fly home we do discovery cove so it had to be eve flight .
It cost me about the same as the first flights I booked be it the new flights dates were more in demand or because it’s closer ..
but everyone will be back for first day of school ( grade nine and still
Undecided if it’s grade 12 episode 2 or college lol and the 2 littles gr 1 and 3)

Use incognito mode and a VPN using an American server, then use your regular browser without a vpn and you usually will see a difference. This is the case for me.
