Whenever you take a trip, you’re subjected to dynamic pricing (whereby the cost of a product or service varies based on supply, demand, willingness to pay, etc.). This applies to flights, hotel rooms, rental cars, concerts, and more.
However, here’s a type of dynamic pricing I’ve not yet seen in the travel industry. I see a lot of criticism of this online, though I’m not sure I necessarily see the issue… let me explain.
Generally speaking, you wouldn’t expect that the price within any store would vary based on the time of day or day of week that you’re shopping, but that very much seems to be the case. The outlet sent someone to the stores inside several Las Vegas casino hotels at five different times throughout the week, to compare the price of three items — sunscreen, energy drinks, and bottled water.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
