Anusha Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 hi there, Emotion overload today. Visa grants in the morning, looking for flights now. Has anyone used computicket travel before? The flights are even cheaper than Emirates website. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daleen Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hi Anusha, congratulations !! I saw something interesting when I checked flight prices. Weather it works, I don't know, because I have not booked yet. However, I compared flight prices with different websites, where they combine a list of flights and show you the best price. On one of the sites I used, Cheapflights.co.za, I saw on the right hand side of the website was an advert for Travelstart. I just randomly put dates in and I stated that I want to have a return flight from Johannesburg to Perth - just to have an idea of the cost. I saw on the right hand side of the website was an advert for travelstart that showed an even cheaper price. Anyway, the "advert" link that I clicked on for Travelstart, quoted me R9799 per person. (This was yesterday). When I saw your message I went on to Travel start and the cheapest flight I could get was R 12 580 per person. I went on cheapflights again and saw the Travelstart Advert on the right hand side again. I clicked on the Travelstart advert and sure enough, they quote me R9799. That is almost R 3000 discount per person. Like I said, I did not book but maybe it is worth a try. All the best with your new future!

ChrisH Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) This might not work from South Africa, but see if you can access Google Flights: https://www.google.com/flights Edited June 7, 2018 by ChrisH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromDurbs Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I dont know if this is true, but apparently if you keep looking at the same flights for the same dates to the same places, then flights keep getting more expensive. Try clearing all cookies and browsing history or using a different computer. We were trying to book a flight for an emergency visit and flights increased a lot over one night of constant googling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yeah, your flight searches definitely make a difference. Most browsers nowadays have a mode where it anonymises you: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-browse-web-incognito-all-big-browsers Obviously, if you sign-in to any specific website they have your search history server side so not much you can do about that.
