I have always heard of this but thought it was an urban legend. I've never seen my flights change price after I looked them up more than once. And I always check first with Skyscanner and then search those flights with my browser and find them at the same price. Does this actually happen in Europe? Or is it illegal here?
Living in Europe now and we’ve not seen it too much but while in USA yeah we needed a flight from Dallas to NYC and it went from $150 to $600 after I was clicking in to buy it. We just waited a day and bought a $200 flight from another company
