Strange, huh?
Ok, don't want to totally hijack this thread, but found this very interesting tidbit when searching AeroSvit's site.

I put in two random dates.

April 2, 2013 from BKK-NYC

April 23, 2013 from NYC-BKK

When I have my location set as Ukraine but the language in English, the prices show are:

April 2- 3,756 UAH (converts to $465)
April 23- 3,495 UAH (converts to $433)

When I have my location set as North America and the language put in English, watch what happens to the prices for THE SAME FLIGHTS:

April 2- $280
April 23- $249

If my location is Ukraine, I'm paying $900, if I set it to North America, it drops to $529!

Anyone else had a similar thing happen with other booking sites? I know JetStar is sometimes a little different depending what region you choose to view their site in, but only ever by a pretty small amount, not by almost half the price!
