Changing sales country might get you cheaper flights, without using VPN to get cheaper flights.

It is however not an exact science, and depends on many factors, but it is always worthwhile to have a quick look at countries with booking agencies (United Kingdom, Australia, Greece), departure and arrival countries, and eventual connecting countries when they are known.

This can lead to some amazing surprises, with very large discounts compare to booking in your home country.

Cheapest country to book flights from VPN

The cheapest countries to book flights ‌ are usually the following to check, which might be different for every flight depending on the departure and arrival airports.

Countries with big booking centers, such as Australia, Greece, or United Kingdom,

Departure and arrival countries, depending on the flight details,

Countries in which the flight segments have connections.

In order to get these special prices, it is not necessary to change IP location

But, simply by using the built-in functions to change the sales country from France to Germany, the exact same ticket went down to 247€, or a 65% discount!

Not even necessary to use a VPN, see below a comparison on the different booking countries for a flight booking ‌ from Warsaw, Poland ‌ to Kiev, Ukraine, two days before departure:

88$ on German sales websites,

104$ on United Kingdom sales websites,

187$ on French travel agencies

There is no rule on when do flights get cheaper, but as a rule of thumb, this generally happens between 6 and 2 weeks before departure, or very last minute.

Booking flights months in advance will rarely get you the best deals, and have a higher chance of actually making you lose money, as your plans might change meanwhile.

Yes, flights are generally cheaper on Tuesdays as it is usually the lowest day for online sales, as it is the busiest working day.
