Are you saving your personal surfing fees when booking your flight?

We' ve tried the ancient hypothesis that online flight bookings using inkognito browser and cookie can help saving moneys. Knowing that you like to conserve your budget so you can spend more time traveling, we have chosen to address the old issue of surfing the web privately (also known as inkognito -browsing) and whether or not it actually does conserve travelers' budget when they book a flight.

Online OTA reservation pages and airlines web pages use cookie to keep up with your normal surfing patterns and the flights you are looking for, and if these companies know that you are looking for the same flights and are returning to make a reservation, they may raise the fare because they know that you are serious and willing to make a buy.

Dean Dave of Too Many Adapters said that sometimes browsein' can save you from panicking about a well-researched airfare. "Inkognito is usually only useful if you repeat the same or similar flights in the same locations over the course of a few short flights or days," Dean said.

While Dean noticed that he has seen how far rates have risen over the years when he reviewed several times in non-private modes, he found that the fare was the same as the initial fare when he reviewed in an incidental browser screen. Attempting to test the theoretical, we conducted an experimental test in which we tried two flights, one national and one national, for several simultaneous daily sessions each with Google Chrome on a Mac desk for multiple daily sessions in both normal and offline browse.

From John, our intercontinental plane left New York City. F. Kennedy Interna-tional (JFK) to Charles de Gaulle (CDG) in Paris. For each test, our internal test was from Los Angeles LAX to Hartsfield Jackson ATL. Every single flights was on the bus for one person and one route.

Exactly four month after the date of departure we booked both flights to the west on Expedia and Kayak. Since we also wanted to try to get a direct response, we asked Expedia and Kayak directly about the impact of browse in cognito. Expedia's saying was that they couldn't post comments, and Kayak didn't reply to our media request if it used Cookies to adjust fares.

Flights confirmed by us had little or no variation between the dates we checked the reservations, and no variation between the rates charged at the same time in normal and incidental surfing. Following a series of repetitive testing, we will say that the legend of browse without knowing is quite well broken. In spite of our acknowledgedly scarce research on the impact of incidental browser browse on air fares, it is still possible that tactics can sometimes work - the most important modifying factor being "sometimes" - and this is something Dean and other travellers have underlined.

However, before you go and begin to delete your cookie and browse the process after each search for the missing opportunity, you can potentially safe a few bucks, bear that in mind: TravelCodex writer and publisher Scott Mackenzie said that browsers actually offer advantages for travellers. And if that could be the case then airline companies and otafs, actually pitching you easy offers to get you to embolden you to book your flights today.
