51 Ways to Travel Cheaper

by admin on April 4th, 2006

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"?
