A ticket's "point of sale," or the location where it's being purchased from, can affect its pricing.

When you're looking at flights online, there's a trick that you can use to change your "point of sale" on the airline's website, to make it appear as though the tickets are being purchased from another location.

The simplest way is to go directly to the airline's website and look for the drop-down menu that asks which country's webpage you'd like, at which point you can switch it from the US version to your desired choice.

Another option is to search through Google's ITA Matrix, software that allows you to compare fares and see a calendar of prices.
