More Travel Site Issues

Post by Wizzard419 » Jun Tue 26, 2012 3:08 pm

As some of you might recall, some sites, airlines, hotels, etc. will give you different prices based on your browser. Now it has been found that Orbitz will show up their results in a different order based on your OS. With Apple users they move the better deals further down than with Windows users.
