Easyjet Flexi - how to counter discriminatory pricing on Flexi fares
Airfares are the classic example of pricing changing according to the time one books - that's OK.
But discriminatory pricing is offering different prices to different people at the same moment in time.
That's not OK to me.
The prices Easyjet shows me for Flexi tickets vary widely.
It seems that if I look at too many options, the price goes up?
Yesterday was the worst so far: I had selected a fare at about £90, and just as I went to pay it said "Price has changed to £175".
How does one counter this?
- Logging out worked today
- If already logged out, I have sometimes waited a day or two
- Does using a VPN to show their system a different IP address work?
- Does it matter whether one clicks Flexi before Three Weeks rather than after?
- Other?
For flights betwen LGW and GVA/ZCH I am always shown over £200 each way for Flexi in the next two/three weeks.
Is this Discriminatory Pricing, or does it apply to everybody because they have decided that there is too much price-insensitive business traffic on these routes?
