I've had an interesting experience these last few days in trying to book a ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe. Newhaven is good for me as daughter and son in law live 4 minutes from the ferry.
I check the price online for a sailing June, £65 each, did this on 24 Feb, I wasn't ready to book as wanted to try other routes. Came back to it on 26 Feb, price is now £81 each way, same route, date and times, bugger... So I check on my phone with wifi off, so just 4G, I can see the price is mysteriously £65 each way again, try to call to get the discount, but did so at 15:00 GMT, their office is in France and they all go home at 16:00 CET... arghh.
Called and booked this morning, a very lovely sounding French lady, the price now with old fart discount is... £65 each way! I've paid and booked as it's fair enough, but made me realise the need to only call or book online when I was absolutely sure of the dates and times, not checking the various crossing options. I assume this is something to do with cookies/trackers and other fu%$ry website uses?
