Nisreene Atassi: Would somebody get more savings the more things that they add on? Flight plus a car might have a different savings value than a fight and a hotel. Nisreene Atassi: Speaking of holiday travel or special events, prices can start to really fluctuate, so when those prices do change is that still the supplier, the hotelier or the airline?
I can speak from an airline perspective since I have that background. At the beginning of the year, those holiday periods are laid out. You know when Easter falls and so maybe for those two weeks, prices are going to be a little bit higher.
From an airline perspective, they like people to purchase further out. Nisreene Atassi: There are a lot of other myths out there when it comes to pricing. Pricing that we do today is based on what type of hotel and what type of flights are available.
Nisreene Atassi: So then what about cookies? Amy Cisneroz: You should not get a different price because you cleared your cookies. The only thing that could happen is in the case of some kind of price change, like with the flights changing, or with the hotel changing their inventory you may see a price difference there, but not from clearing your cookies. Or sometimes they step away from their computer, they come back, they hit refresh and the price is completely different.
Amy Cisneroz: Well travel is extremely dynamic and the airlines can change a fare at any moment. Nisreene Atassi: Yeah, dynamic pricing is something that you hear come up all the time. What are those factors that might go into this dynamic pricing?
Amy Cisneroz: Airlines typically monitor each other. Another factor is my changing capacity. Are there fewer planes or more planes? They could also price lower because they want to keep the demand going. It comes with a nice welcome bonus, solid ongoing points earning on bonus categories and some great travel perks.
