This post is funny, but the bad news is you can’t outsmart it like that. Incognito mode, clearing cookies, wearing thrift store clothes while searching, none of it actually flips some “stingy customer” switch.
Airlines price mostly off demand, route, timing, and fare buckets. Not vibes. Delta isn’t looking at you and thinking “this guy would rather road trip with screaming kids.” It’s looking at how full that Boise flight is and how close you are to departure.
The real stingy moves are boring. Be flexible with dates, fly at awful times, watch Google Flights price history, and book when demand dips. Or just accept that Boise randomly costs more than Paris sometimes and move on with your life.
Also, Delta already assumes everyone is both broke and desperate. That’s kind of the whole system.
