FYI what I do is after searching flights (say, on Expedia), if I don't purchase right away, then before I go back I clear out the Expedia cookies so they don't jack up the price.

I will say that one time I was purchasing tickets on one of these sites (Orbitz/Expedia/Travelocity) and after I had gone through all the seat selection etc, when I hit the "charge credit card button," the site said, "oop! We hate when this happens, your fare has increased $x"

I was SO beyond pissed but at that point I was rushed for time and just ate it. Now I'm mad at myself that I don't remember which site it was, because I never want to use it again.


Incognito is a setting in Chrome (maybe Firefox, but I am unsure), and it helps with certain sites (Washington Post is an example) that have paywalls so you can look at the website unlimited times instead of a few times a month.

How can you see where and when certain airlines fly to?
I am the OP of the Copa thread about using my voucher. I'm trying to search flights but no matter what destination I choose (departing from Boston) it keeps saying there are no routes that day.

I want to just see a list of where Copa flies to and when.

Use an Incognito tab, whatever you use.

I find checking airline sites directly to be best.

I like Google flights. Click on the calendar icon for departure/return dates and you'll see ALL fares for the full month, every day. You can also purchase by clicking directly from that site.

You can also add alternative airports to both the departure and return fields.
