Depends on sites, google flights is a good one. Just for the fuck of it, you might want to check once the price at the counter. They might be filling up empty seats and sell them for cheap, unsure tho…

No, mostly. But skiplagging still works.
I’ve done this in Brazil but it generally requires a Brazilian credit card and it doesn’t say that anywhere. The non-Brazilian card just gets declined when you try to make the purchase. And you have to do it on the Portuguese language site of course.
And where such discounts do exist and are more meaningful - eg:

They are only actually for people that live in those places. Using a VPN won’t make any difference and if you somehow manage to buy one you’ll either be denied boarding or need to pay the difference.
Not in Canada. I think they charge us more.
As soon as you put in a US credit card, those sites will kick you over to their English-language sites with the higher prices. At least that’s what happened to me when I tried in the past.
I experimented for awhile, different countries, times, browsers. Nothing. They all matched each other close enough. Now, there did seem to be fluctuations common to each depending on the time and day. Most expensive seems to be Friday afternoon through Tuesday. . And for me, cheapest seems to be 3 am Wed/Thurs/Fri. USA, mountain time.
So it works really well?
Damn I screwed up… It was a Wednesday
Like burning man tickets, you have a 1 minute window. To shuv it up your ass, refresh page and complete purchase.

Thanks for the idea!
Why do you share this secret?
This is one of the greatest answers ever. Delco attitude rules!
Well that’s a new one
But doing the reverse doesn’t really work if you start out in USA, right? Or maybe I’m missing something
I’ve used Chat GPT enough to know this garbage was generated by it
There needs to be a site wide rule on Reddit banning it when it comes to replies
How expensive is Qantas for others if where we get is discounted!
I noticed Google flights doesn’t include many airlines in Asia. I had good luck searching the names of local carriers and booking directly with them.
