Sudden Airline Flight Price Increases, When Checking Prices To/from Thailand

"Has anyone had the experience where they are looking at flight prices ( A. A.) and after doing a few other things

on the computer, gone back and found that the prices had risen a fair bit ? It happened twice to me.

Once I can understand......I guessed they just put the price up during that 10 minutes. But twice.....it seems a bit suspicious.

It's almost like they have logged your enquiry and know that you are coming back because you couldn't get a cheaper price than the initial quote.....or that they put it up in the hope you will have been befuddled by all the numbers and won't notice the price increase when you return.

Or am I just being paranoid ? "

Apologies to OP and Bonobo for hijacking the thread but this seems far too interesting, and relevant to many of us, for it to be closed due to a technicality--please could someone, maybe Bonobe him[/herself?], give us a more detailed description of what this is all about--incidentally, I too have noticed the 'phenomenon' described.

P.S. The addition of 'When Checking Flights To/From Thailand' may not be sufficient to qualify this thread for discussion--it is a serious, if pathetic, attempt though, and in no way am I trying to insult Bonobo.

Clear your browser information (e.g. cookies, etc,) sometimes. I have had the same experience with some retailer. If they know you were looking at the prices before and you are returning to their site, they may take advantage that you did not find better prices so they will increase the prices a bit

Adding the word "Thailand" into the title does not make this Thai-related.  Your previous post, basically word-for-word as this one, was closed, so this one will join it.
