51 Ways to Travel Cheaper

Much of the travel blogosphere has linked to this National Geographic Traveler article, but it's too good to pass by. Here's my favourite trick:

Trash your "cookies," small files (stored in your Internet browser) that record the websites you surf—and the transactions you make. Say you go online and purchase a $200 plane ticket from Chicago to Omaha. The next time you visit that site, you could be quoted a higher rate than what's actually available because of your spending history.

That's dastardly, isn't it? I wonder, do the cookies on my machine read "rich fool" or "cheap bastard"?
