A Cookie is a small piece of code which is sneaked onto your machine by the website you are viewing. Apparently it's to help the pages load faster (yeah right) The downside is that a website can tell if you have been before...and which page etc )
Try looking at "Tools" on the top of the browser screen, then choose "Clear Recent Browsing History" or similar title.
How delightfully off topic :D

Onlyjane clear all the cookies from your pc, then try the search for prices again. Sometimes if a cookie has been placed on your pc by a website, you don't see their best offer!

Good Lord, do you know everything, Bandit?
I have a belief that if some sites receive repeated clicks from the same sites, the price jumps

Are you sitting down?
Ok, best price I did have for 2 x twin roomsHB - before it went up - was £2192 - $2495 the 2 hotels mentioned earlier. On other sites for same dates same places over £3k.
If I could get your prices where everyone is happy I would jump up & down and would treat myself to a solo ski holiday later on. hee, hee, hee, don't tell.
Go the following week and the prices plummet.
Problem is my sons are both CIS workers and so would lose a weeks pay which they are not willing to do.
Kind regards

Hi Bandit
Thanks for explaining and will remember that.
Ok I got a list - temporary internet files . Cookies . history . form data . passwords.
So I just deleted cookies, which took a while but I had been busy hunting for holiday over all weekend, so not suprised.
Unfortunately price came out same. I did notice that there's a box that states price only valid for 30 mins. So obviously price goes up as they sell a room.
Good try though. I will try computer at work tomorrow and see what price comes up from that - just in case.

Forgot to mention ...
What I learned over the weekend, apart from how to get a headache was ....
When I was searching for 4 people from the start the price was some what dearer than if I started off for 2 people and then after getting a price refreshed for 4 people. Is that sneeky of them or what.
Hasn't worked on any other sites though!

£548 HB pp is not bad for New Year week.
DIY ~ Lufthansa £96 pp, train & taxi £57 return pp,so to equal that price, hotel cost must be £395, 466 Eu to equal, ie 66 Eu HB pp. That is a tough call.
