  Sorry if this is a silly question, but do you know why the price increases once I click on the direct link?

    Airline prices change often hourly, and it takes time to propogate through to agents and OTAs. So a lot of the intermediary steps the providers might cache the data. This works pretty well most of the time, but sometimes you might want that price, and just before purchase they re-query the airline to confirm the price. It might be that the airline has changed the prices, or even that they only had say 3 seats in a particular price bucket which have now sold out, so the price is updated, and propogated back to you as a price change :/

    as another example of this, for a deal on ozbargain I had two scripts running overnight looking at prices, and by accident they scanned the same routes 4 hours apart, and it was amazing how many of the values had changed!
