All of which explains why the prices I've been seeing lately on BA, Qantas, Zuji and Expedia are all the same when I search, regardless of whether it is one of the work ocs (one telstra, one Optus), my own laptop or my iphone....
Not that I have the slightest interest in deciphering conspiracy theories mind you, as far as I'm concerned I've never had an issue with prices being cookied or ip'd or even hiked by 30% overnight as someone reckoned recently. Perhaps I'm just lucky

I do recall trying to book some flights from London to Zurich once. I was on my work pc and a mate was on his and easyjet were throwing out different prices for each of us for the same flight. Again I don't think it happens too much with the main airlines these days. Too much risk in hitting the headlines for the wrong reason.
