Booking Travel at the Right Time to Save Money

Setting your home country when searching for flights may not lower prices, but changing the country of departure can result in significantly cheaper rates. Airlines price flights based on the purchasing power of the departure country. Utilizing miles to fly directly from desired locations can lead to substantial savings. The tactic of setting your computer's home country to the destination may not result in cost reductions as anticipated.
