Online Travel Sites Are Biased
from the who-cares? dept
A new study shows that you shouldn’t trust your travel searches to a single online site, as many of them are biased in some way. I actually don’t think this is that big of a deal (nor does the author of the article). Personally, I usually check 3 or 4 different travel sites before booking a ticket, and I almost always find the exact same flights and prices at every site I check.
