This may be the hardest hack of them all. Regional pricing can affect the price of the tickets. Based on where you buy those tickets from, the price may vary. International tickets are cheaper if bought from countries with a low standard of living. The key plan is to fool the airline into believing that you are buying from elsewhere.

The way it works is that you mask your IP address or you use the airline’s regional website to book the tickets. You have to buy your tickets in the foreign currency. For instance, if you want to travel from New York to somewhere in South Africa, then you need to log onto South Africa’s local site. Or you can use a VPN to get a South African IP address. Select the flight that you want and buy it using a credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees. There are a few drawbacks to this hack. This hack works 80% of the time. Sometimes there are web sites which sell tickets to residents only. So if you do manage to buy a ticket, it may not be applicable for you since you are a foreigner. On the other hand, people rarely check the ticket once you have it, so you might as well give it a shot.
