Fare Shopping Online: It's a Jungle Out There

Travelers have come to discover that airlines and online travel agencies discriminate in their prices and offerings depending on what operating system you are using in your search.  We believe that this is only the beginning.  Cookies and other means are utilized to determine your location, shopping habits, seach queries to give advertisers and providers the means to infringe on your privacy and calibrate the prices and offers based on your zip codes, demographic factors and other mined data.

The internet is a wonderful thing, but browsing privacy and the methods you use to conduct your searches will yield different results to different users.

At the end, this will undermine the system and create serious privacy concerns to the traveler.  Your travel agent remains the best source for trusted information with top notch service and uniform pricing. www.premieretravel.com
