Use Incognito Mode When Searching for Flights

The Problem

You searched a flight yesterday for $300. Today it's $350. Coincidence or tracking?

The Hack

Open an incognito/private browser window before searching flights. Close and reopen for each new search. This prevents cookies from tracking your search history.

Why It Works

While airlines deny dynamic pricing based on cookies, travel agencies and aggregators may. Searching in incognito eliminates any possibility of cookie-based price inflation — it costs nothing to be safe.

Pro Tips

• Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+N. Safari: Cmd+Shift+N. Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+P
• Also clear cookies between searches on regular browser
• Compare prices across multiple sites in incognito
• At minimum, it ensures you see the base price without any personalization
