      Did the vpn change your location to outside your country, or just another place inside your country? I was wondering if there’s a currency conversion fee because, for example, I’m in the US but then VPN changes my location to the UK and the prices show in pounds (£), so I have to make the purchase in £ but I only have US dollars ($) because I’m in the US. When I make the purchase, would the website charge me a currency conversion fee for paying in $?

    In about 2005 you could still call to book a flight directly from the airport you wanted to fly from, there were actual people who's job it was to book flights via calls any time of day. I remember a nice person gave me the number for a cancelations only flights available. When I found out about that I felt like I had everything I needed to go anywhere I wanted, and save money while doing it. Now you're the nice person who his helping people get places for less, I thank you for this and wish you happy trails Bro!!

    When booking international flights , I find that booking a flight from one major city to another major city in another country is usually much higher in price than booking from a smaller city to another smaller city in another country then using the domestic flights in that country to get to your final destination , the reason for this is that some airlines don't have landing rights in major cities and it is often harder to fill all their seats when landing at a smaller city so they highly discount the fares to get more passengers on board .
    I have got fares for about 90% less using this strategy .

    - return £5 with Wizz Air from Bratislava, Slovakia to Luton, UK

      @@YouTooBeYou7 When you book flights with Ryanair you have to pay immediately. Price can be misleading as you have to pay extra for carry-on bags. I'm from the UK and their prices can be misleading. Also the airports they use are well away from the city in the destination name. The airlines are classed as "no frills".
