68: Use This Hack To Save Hundreds Of Dollars On Your Next Trip (Archive)

During the previous year, as I was in the process of buying plane tickets and reserving hotels for a special trip abroad on our first anniversary, the rising costs of travel became apparent, especially for someone like me – an ordinary student with a part-time job.

With limited savings, the prices offered by online booking platforms seemed daunting, putting our celebratory plans in jeopardy. Determined not to let this hinder our first anniversary, I dedicated an entire weekend to finding affordable options. It seemed like an impossible task until I stumbled upon a VPN hack that ended up saving us hundreds of dollars on our journey.

1. Some websites offer exclusive deals and discounts based on the user's location. Utilizing a VPN to connect to a server in a country with lower prices might unveil these hidden savings.

2. Certain travel booking platforms impose additional fees for transactions in foreign currencies. Employing a VPN to connect to a server in your home country could enable you to complete the booking in your local currency, potentially avoiding extra charges.

3. To protect against fraud, some banks flag unusual activity from overseas and may temporarily lock your account. Using a VPN disguises your location, making it appear as though you're accessing your accounts from your home country, reducing the risk of account locks.

4. Dynamic pricing on travel websites adjusts based on your location. Connecting to a VPN server in a different country might reveal alternative prices, potentially lower than those displayed for your actual location.

5. Roaming fees on mobile phone plans from your home country can be expensive when used abroad. A VPN helps you avoid these charges by allowing you to connect to the internet using a local server.

1. Install and create an account with NordVPN.

2. Regularly clear your browser history, cookies, and cache after each search.

3. Activate the VPN and experiment with different locations, especially focusing on the home country of a specific airline, developing countries, and the destination you're planning to visit.

I recommend NordVPN over other options because it's cost-effective and performs exceptionally well for this hack compared to alternative VPNs.
