      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!!

  • @philipmullins5185
    @philipmullins5185 Před rokem +199

    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 .

    You explained booking flights with a VPN the most comprehensively I've ever seen on CZcams. You also explained the other points extremely well AND all with examples, which helps greatly. A few years ago, I had a flight YVR-YYZ-YOW round trip and I decided last minute I wanted to stay in Toronto for a couple days, then I'd take a short train ride to Kingston and my sister would pick me up and we'd drive the hour to her house (SE of Ottawa). The agent told me I'd need to take the whole trip to Ottawa, because the airline might cancel my return booking if I wasn't on the last leg of the flight. In the end I took the whole flight then went to VIA RAIL and took a 4 hour train ride to Toronto. I don't remember why I didn't just change the booking (maybe it was expensive, not sure)
