Hello,
I often make round trips via Air France (no competition) between Paris and Bordeaux.
The fares offered until a month ago were more or less around €100 for a round trip; for the past two months, it's been impossible to find anything under €150, and even then!
I noticed this about a year ago... then, for professional reasons (my remote work being taken away due to a job change), I stopped buying tickets.
I suspect they recognize customers through their IP address and offer less attractive fares to customers making relatively frequent journeys.
These "tracking" practices are exasperating me, and I would like to be able to change my IP address on demand to trick their Big Data.
Any solutions?
Thank you for your response :)

Hi,
This method is very well known; indeed, you check a price today, you come back tomorrow and it will have increased. Meanwhile, your neighbor will have the previous day's price.
The idea of changing your IP is indeed the solution, but you won't be able to change that of your Freebox.
