VPN to book cheaper airfare
Has anyone used a VPN service to book cheaper airfare? Worth doing? Any risks? Thanks.

Are you talking about using a VPN service to access different location's site of the same airline?

Yes, you can get "cheaper" pricing but sometime you will not be able to complete the purchase without a locally issued credit card. Sometimes the pricing will default to the card's issuing country or your "home" country base on your FF account.
The fine print of the ticket will also be different.
