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!
I am going to Vietnam for vacation next month on Korean Air. As I live in Korea, I select the Korea English page. They quoted me roughly 650 USD for a nonstop RT.
If you search Kayak - $1,000 on koreanair.com. Why? It pulls from the North America page. I also searched directly on koreanair.com with my location as North America and got $1,000 RT for the exact same flights.
Craziness.
