These cookies they get you to accept are there for a reason mate, you are buying tiles, they get through your camera to see what type of dude you are, set you up for a year long of advertisements of boiler suits in white as they think you are a Tommy Walsh fan (craftsmanship), have a quick skeg of your face and send emails from companies advertising face replacement products.. It's a vicious world in advertising mate, the tiles need to go back..<ok>

Mate I had access to brand new laptops to test it on. Got proper involved in testing it. Rynair don't change ticket prices depending on your IP/cookies/browser history/etc...Maybe some websites do, I've never denied that, but if Ryanair don't I doubt Easyjet do, or BA, or Virgin, etc...

I did, I'm talking about testing it myself over a couple of days, trying to trick the system into giving me cheaper flights. Didn't work.

Glad to be home mate but heading back in there in 2/3 weeks. Got my instructions, the fact I have had COPD from birth hasn't helped here at all. The breathlessness is relentless, quite scary when it's coupled with the angina chest pain, like bringing back memories from November 8th.. Dreading the op in truth, I don't handle this stuff well, if it's just me then I don't give a **** but it's the others I worry about..

****ing cheeky that. Same with flights, if you keep going back and looking at the same flights they go up in price.

It's never happened to me, that's not saying it don't happen, I'm just saying i've never experienced it. The one thing I look for before booking a flight, especially with someone like easyjet, I will go through online until it brings me to the seating plan - then I look at the availability for the dates you are looking at, that I tend to find is a good price indicator, whether the flights will stay the same or go up in price, the longer you leave it. Although keep in mind I'm not date restricted by kids.

So are you saying price compare ain't a fiddle?

@Tobes theory seems correct to me...

Not at all, i'm talking about getting the price straight from Ryanair.

Happy to do a test with anyone that doesn't believe it. Pick a random flight and check it a few times, i'll check it tomorrow and screenshot my price (not knowing which flight it is) and they'll be the same <ok>

I'm not arguing the point ffs...It's just a thread..But seem like myself, others have had different experiences.
 
Five years ago I upgraded my car to a newer model, when I informed the Insurance Company the quoted me £1000 a year, the price for the old insurance was £500 per year, I cancelled the Insurance and an hour later rang the same company as a new customer and was quoted £300 per year
I won't name the Company but their namesake saved our country between 1939 and 1945

Renewals is a slightly different issue, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if their annual price hikes were greater for the more senior driver....

My old man got his renewal through before Christmas, it’d gone up £200, and he mentioned it on the phone. He doesn’t do t’internet at all. So I shopped around for him and got it for £200 cheaper than he was already paying, so £400 cheaper than if he’d have just allowed the automatic renewal. Robbing twats.

Do they think older people won't shop around and take the piss?
 
I tend to use topcashback a fair bit for checking prices. Although never taken any insurance through them yet. Last thing i did was changed my broadband, got a nice wack of cashback from it. For high speed broadband, worked out £16 a month. That was deducting the cashback over an 18 month period. No other extras, because i don't connect a landline to it, and ive already got freesat for tv.
