In reply to Dark-Cloud:
> Nope not bullshit, my Mrs checked our flights for Christmas the other morning and texted me the prices and times, i got home so we jumped on to book them, they were showing more than earlier, cleared cookies, now back to where they were, thats Easyjet by the way. Try it for yourself and see....
> Alos it wouldn't break Skyscanner etc. as they are probably using an API or other means of getting the data, Easyjet could also know which website is querying the prices so would then change the cookie behaviour to suit
skyscanner uses cached info and is effectively just a rerouting engine.
clearing your cookies did nothing, but potentially someone was during the booking process and stopped - just like if you go on ticketmaster you ahve several minutes to complete your booking before the tickets are released back in to availability.
