I've heard prices are higher if you are logged in with your username on airline sites. Also I wonder if there is a cheap way to run a Vpn that lets you choose your "location" on the fly.

In practice you probably don't want to do this because: 1) If not everything is correctly SSL encrypted on the airline website the risks are much higher and 2) there's a good chance that the airline will block open proxy IPs.
- userbinator 12y agoI remember reading about companies offering different prices based on your browser's user-agent - the argument was something like "Mac users are more willing to spend more". Maybe you'd get discounts if you make them think you're using an extremely old machine... like IE6 on Win98SE or thereabouts. on the fly I see what you did there.
