For fun, I tested AC.com on 3 different browsers, in regular and PrivateWindow/Incognito Modes and well as one iOS device, 2 different browsers and cell connection instead of wifi.

When using Private/Incognito on desktop, the pop-up window defaults to choosing between Canada and the U.S. Slightly different results for the iOS tests

If AC's site is associating my IP with Norway, then I can't explain why the AC Norwegian edition pops up on one browser out of 3, but only when in regular mode. If I use that same browser in Private/Incognito, the pop-up window is the Canada/U.S. one.

Since this tech adventure is well above my pay grade, I'll just leave it be and enjoy the entertainment of seeing AC fares in NOK.
