Incognito Mode
Have you ever gone to search for your next holiday and found the price just keeps jumping higher and higher and you can never seem to find a cheap deal? Well we have some solutions for you!
The biggest travel hack we can give you to save you money when booking flights and/or hotels online enable private browsing or "incognito mode". This is due to travel sites often track your recent visits and will raise the price simply because of your search history. Your cookies on your laptop store up and in the long run end up guessing what you're going to search based on your browser history. So for example this is why when you go from one flight company to another, your previous search may already be typed in for you. This is also how your browser knows what adverts to pop up on your screen on any website you go on, this isn't a coincidence, this is down to your cookies on your browsers. So TURN IT OFF. Follow the steps below and find yourself the cheapest deals, incognito mode simple enables you to search the web freely without saving any history!
I use google chrome, so this is my method... In the top right hand corner, there are 3 vertical dots, click here and scroll down to "New Incognito Window" and click or see shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N.
And vuala, you're in private mode, so search away freely!
