Title: Flight Price Hikes
Post by: Tamkid on February 27, 2015, 14:36:34 PM
I looked at the price of easyjet flights on Monday, return from Liverpool to Fuerter April 6th coming back April 11th, price £112, today same flights £250. I understand about
supply and demand, just thought I would share that.

Clear your COOKIES each time you go on. They know you've been there before if you don't.

PS, British Airways made â,¬1.39 Billion profit last year. The mind boggles  :o

I got so fed up that i have stopped using Easyjet and have gone to Ryanair .... We kept getting the same thing for our trip before last , i complained and have now booked six flights for three holidays with Ryanair .... Hope they don't start doing it ... On a more positive note it now allows us to fly from Stansted , we liked Easyjet but flying from Gatwick was more hassle and twice as far from our home

Why bother looking at flight prices if you have no intention of booking? 

I looked at the flight the OP posted the other day and it was £250, looked this morning, not cleared cookies, and still £250.

As a rule, Easyjet start cheap and then go up as they fill the plane up, if people aren't buying they will drop them or have a 'sale' 

I would have thought that people would have learnt this by now judging by the amount of posts we have about the same thing every year.

If the plane is full Ryanair prices go up just like everybody elses. Our flight for next month is now 3x what we paid. By the time it leaves in two weeks I'm sure Ryanair will be charging even more for the last seat or two

The second sentence was really aimed at Woe's suggestion about the cookies, hence my mention of cookies.  Maybe I should have made myself clearer on that one.   :D

Deso think he meant

I looked to see if there was any truth in what Woe was saying, that if you keep looking at the same flight without clearing your browsing cookies then the price would go up for you.

I looked several times but the price did not change.  Just checked again and it is still the same.   :D
