Adjust Location for Cheaper Travel: Tip-of-the-Day #319

I just read an article on Huffington Post, which pointed me to maphappy.org for the original story. With a few key strokes you can save yourself hundreds of dollars on travel. The nutshell version is that when shopping for travel online, by changing your location and/or language/currency you can score reduced pricing on tickets that are otherwise "marked up" for folks traveling from the U.S.

Some people are already savvy to the idea of waiting to book island hoppers until actually reaching Hawaii because the prices are adjusted for locals. Same applies in Europe - flights to neighboring hotspots are greatly reduced for Europeans over "visiting Americans." Waiting can ultimately save hundreds of dollars.

I encourage you to give this article a read: http://maphappy.org/2014/06/use-point-of-sale-to-get-cheaper-international-tickets/.

It's a great time of year to think about saving a few dollars on travel so you can allocate those bucks to keepsakes from the trip. :)
