Orbitz noted that it was is not showing different prices for the same room to different users, but was presenting discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela pricier hotels more prominently to Mac users than those using Windows. Users can rank hotel options discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela by price and get the same listings no matter what platform they are using.
Orbitz found Mac users on average spend $20 to $30 more a night on hotels than their PC counterparts, a significant margin given the site's average nightly hotel booking is around $100, chief scientist Wai Gen Yee said. Mac users are 40% more likely to book a four- or five-star hotel than PC users, Mr. Yee said, and when Mac and PC users book the same hotel, Mac users tend to stay in more expensive rooms.
The  WSJ   goes on  to note that the average household income for adult owners of Macs is $98,560, according to Forrester Research, versus $74,452 for a PC owner. The paper also says that some high-end hotels see bookings from Mac users hugely out of proportion with their user share on Orbitz.
This is an interesting article discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela in the sense that Mac has always been perceived as an elite/higher tier product line comparing to PCs. Although, I am curious to see how things will turn out in the future. Currently, there are more PC users and Android has a higher market discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela share than Apple in mobile. What will happen in the long run though? Will Mac live up to its name?
Even today, Apple took another big hit and closed at $450.50 regardless of increased revenue and earnings. Just because they missed the analysis s expectations. Let s face it, if you have a Mac, it is unlikely you bought it used or for $500.00. For $500.00, you can find a decent Windows operated machine or put one together for yourself. Therefore, with all the tracking that is implemented now-a-days on the internet, discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela the research proves that Mac users tend to spend more in general; not just on their PCs this is why this isn t very surprising to me (this does not pertain all Mac users though.)
Good observations. I like your thinking, and I can see investor s reactions to AAPL in the past 2 days. Apple seems to have lost its glory , and maybe in the future the data will tell travel agents to focus on WIN 8 users. So this class provides more of the way of thinking and tools we need to explore data. Data do change over time.
To be fair to the travel websites, the title is a bite misleading. They do not charge more to the mac users, they suggest different products/services to them that they think fits their needs better and those products happen to be the more luxurious ones. It is clear that the websites are trying to close more expensive deals in order to make higher commission discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela but the Mac users will pay the same price as everyone discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela else if they pass on the expensive deals and look for the more affordable ones.
Having a Mac Vs a PC is a good income predictor, and also a good indicator of the spending habits of the customers which makes them a slightly different niche that ought to be targeted differently to optimize its profitability.
discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela I agree with Mohamed. The title is misleading. It seems more like Orbitz is effectively using business intelligence in order to offer the products (in this case, high end hotel rooms), that their consumers discount airline fares betweeen paris and venezuela want. It is a smart business move. As already stated, Mac users, on average, have higher household incomes when compared to PC users. Orbitz is capitalizing on this information.
