Booking air tickets is getting trickier
I seriously doubt that pricing is person specific and based on visits.
Could pricing be altered by aggregate views for a particular route/day? That might be possible and in that case it would be in the airlines interest to measure not total traffic but total unique viewers as demand for a flight would be very different if there were 100 people viewing a flight once vs 10 people viewing 10 times.

So a vanilla approach might not work well
