Proxies for comparing flight and hotel prices
One seat or one room can carry different prices depending on the buyer's country, and a site that sees the same IP searching over and over starts to slow it down.
Which proxy is best for tracking flight and hotel prices?
For comparing flight and hotel prices, use rotating residential proxies in each country you compare. Travel sites adjust fares by the visitor's country and slow down repeated searches from one IP, so every search should come from a different local address.
Search from each market
Write the country code into the username. Fare, currency and taxes follow the exit country.
Each search, a new IP
Fare searches are independent, so let the proxy rotate. No address repeats a search often enough to stand out.
Hold the IP to checkout
The final total often appears only at the last step. Add a session label so search, choice and price page share one IP.
Recommended proxy types
Setting it up in four steps
- Order the smallest Residential plan (one gigabyte) as a trial. Pay with crypto and it is delivered automatically.
- Take the host
resi.proxies.boo, port8080, and your username and password from the plan page. - Set the exit country with a code in the username, like
USERNAME-country-us. - Point the job at your real target. Working? Top up the same plan. Blocked? Move to the next proxy type listed above.

Travel fare tracking: common questions
Do travel sites charge differently by country?
Often. The point of sale sets the currency and taxes, and sometimes the fare itself. Searching one route from several countries shows the gap.
Why does the fare change when I search again?
Fares move with demand and results are cached briefly. A new IP and a clean session per search take your own earlier searches out of the picture.
