Simple browser hack to save money on flights

How switching the .com to another country domain can save money

It is pretty common knowledge that companies use cookies and your search history to determine your browsing patterns and raise flight prices accordingly. Many people now buy their tickets using incognito mode or starting fresh on a new device after they find the flight that works for them. These are good steps, but there is an additional little trick when buying flights that can save quite a lot on the exact save itinerary by simply changing the county code top-level domain in the browser. For example, instead of searching for your flight at www.kayak.com you could search for the same fight on www.kayak.se where .se is the top-level domain for Sweden. As you can see in the example below, I first found the flight I was interested in using the US domain which showed the price as $312. Then after searching, I simply changed .com to .se and the same exacts results showed up with the price now at $287. Not bad for only having to change 3 letters. The only downside is the language and currency differ, but Kayak lets you simply change the currency back to US dollars if you would like. Furthermore, Chrome usually can translate back to English from the browser or you can simply translate yourself and enjoy the money savings in addition to a language lesson!
