Beware Travelocity!!!

Options
As per the cheap flights tips given on MSE, I tried travelocity for return flight to Sydney because travelocity does not show up in comparsion sites ( I now know why - you cant trust their fares). The site came up with cheapest flight but after selecting the flight it then says something like "As we are searching live availability, prices can occasionally fluctuate. Please note that the price for this offer has increased by xxxx" This happended several times. Seems a bit strange that the fluctuations always happen for same amount and despite using different pages.

Googled travelocity reviews and found this, so Caveat Emptor -

    Ive used Lastminute.com who are owned by Travelocity several times without any problems.
    Its a bit like supermarket shopping, no one website is going to be cheapest all the time.
    If you research the market, then Im sure Travelocity will be best for some places, for some dates.

    Expedia has done the same in the past, it is something that just happens with flight prices on these websites.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.
