...it feels very good doesn't it!

So in August we're going to my friend's villa in Lanzarote. We've been before, he's charging us a nominal fee to use it. But the flights have always been a kicker. Last time we went, our five return flights came to over £2500.

Another mate of mine tipped me off that easyJet released their summer flight schedule this morning. So I set my alarm for 5am and sat over the iPad, continually refreshing the page for flights. Soon as they came up, I was in. Got them for £900!

Checked them again an hour later, they'd gone up to £1700.

Checked them again just now. They currently stand at £2100!!

By being on the ball and buying flights 8 hours ago, I've saved myself over a grand! Feeling very smug at the moment! :cool::cool::cool:

Booked my flights to Spain with Easyjet this morning, and less than £80 return seemed ok.:)

the increase will be partly due to the cookies that track what sites you're looking at so Easyjet know you're looking at certain flights so every time your IP address is flagged in their system you get a higher price.

And that’s why some of use proxies when doing certain things.

We got parking for our 2 week hols next year at the Gatwick Summertime special parking, got it for £50 instead of the £140 we've paid every time before:)

Hmmmm. The first two prices I obtained at home, granted. But the third one (the highest) was on my work’s computer.

So not sure about your theory...?
