Tags: apple mac users macs orbitz targeting travel travel comparison wtf 117 • Permalink

cause Travel comparison site Orbitz noticed something interesting in their stats recently — people who use Macs tend to spend 30 percent more.
effect So, using this data, the company now shows Mac users costlier options than it does Windows users as a way to boost margins.
result Presumably, people on Macs read this article and use their Windows computer at work to get cheaper options. Good job, dorks! source
