Shh! Get cheap flights before airlines find the loophole!

How to get a cheaper flight on an airline's website

Newsroom July 22 11:39

Go to Skyscanner and tweak the country you are supposedly located and set it to the country destination (the option to do so is at the very top of the screen where there is a flag of the country you are currently in.” Where you are located or say you are located makes a big difference in flight. The reason for this is because there are different companies in different countries that are offered differing deals by airlines.

If you want to travel from Melbourne to Athens, set your current location to another country altogether (Not your departure city).

5 Easy Steps
1. Go to Skyscanner.
2. Change the country to Colombia (option is at top of the screen, not to be confused with departure city).
3. Choose where you want to go and click search.
4. Go to xe.com and convert the Colombian Pesos to your currency.
5. Open an incognito/private window and repeat the process but this time leave the location as your home country and see the difference!
