Ryanair: are they smart??

I'm convined that Ryanair in particular use cookies - so they know if you have looked at specific flights before.........and then raise the price.

As someone before said, delete the cokkies and/or use a different computer, and I bet you'll see the original price or close to it

I dont quite think that it is true about cookies. I had my eye on a flight with ryanair, and didn't book it when i should, total of flight was £129 ish, then i looked again waiting for this to go down and it went up to £145 ish, i was gutted.

i rang my mate and asked her to check and yes it still was £145 on her comp, and this was her 1st time of checking.

Then on wed night, i thought i'd just check again, i hadn't cleared my cookies or anything. And the total had come down to £115. I rang my mate and asked her to check and hers was the same price as my com £115.

so i booked them cause we was happy with that price.

Maybe ryanair "have got to" your mate. Are you sure she isnt part of this massive conspiracy and her price is really less.I would maybe sneak in when shes out, ransack her home and check her PC. OLeary might be blackmailing or bribing her.

I booked a flight two weeks ago for £41,yesterday it had come down to £31.
When checking today it`s up to £51.

Nothing to do with cookies

simply supply and demand.

OMG!!!!

And now you've posted it on here, we might all get involved in this conspiracy!

Never again will I book with Ryanair.

Oh, just remembered, I wasn't going to anyway!

I don't think it's anything to do with cookies, as I have had the same experience as alared.

However, just to be sure, I alway check through skyscanner first.

The system that most airlines use for pricing is called yield management . More details here :-

Have to agree with Trisontana on this.

Cookies is just a red herring!

Anyway

---

you search for your flight and get a price

if you`re happy with the price,you buy it.
If not you don`t.

M.O`Leary has done the world a favour.
Anyone who can`t see it,has their head up their a*se!!!!.
