  1. Use VPN software

An airline market practices regional pricing. In a nutshell, the system tracks your geolocation and shows the prices set for your region. However, if you mask your real IP address with that of a lower-income country, the price will most likely be lower. We turned on VPN Unlimited and connected to the Romania server. As a result, the price for the same date flight changed from $355 to $321. Since VPN Unlimited offers you 400+ high-speed servers across 70+ locations all over the world, you can be sure you’ll find your best price by using different servers.

Bonus tips:

    • The flight prices may increase if the system tracks that you’ve already searched for the same tickets a few hours ago. That’s why you should search for tickets using incognito browsing mode and clear your browsing history, cache, and cookies first.
    • Try not to use Apple devices for booking your tickets. This is because airline companies hold Apple device owners to be more solvent. The price can also vary depending on the price of your smartphone/laptop.
