Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about RegionFare and cross-market flight pricing.

What is RegionFare?

RegionFare is a travel price comparison tool that checks flight and hotel prices across up to 97 regional versions of booking sites like Skyscanner, Google Flights, Kiwi, Momondo, Kayak, and Booking.com. It shows you which country's version has the cheapest price for the exact same flight or hotel.

How does RegionFare find cheaper flights?

Airlines and booking sites use regional pricing β€” the same flight can cost different amounts depending on which country's version of the site you search from. RegionFare searches all 97 regional markets simultaneously and shows you the cheapest one with a direct booking link.

How long does a search take?

A typical search takes 60–120 seconds. RegionFare scrapes real booking sites across multiple markets in parallel, so it needs time to load and extract prices from each one.

Is RegionFare free?

Yes, completely free. RegionFare does not charge any fees. You book directly on the booking site β€” we just help you find the cheapest regional version.

Why do flights cost different amounts in different countries?

Airlines and Online Travel Agencies set different base fares for different markets based on local purchasing power, competition, currency fluctuations, and demand patterns. A fare priced for the Polish market may be 15–25% cheaper than the same fare on the UK version of the same site.

Is it legal to book from another country's site?

Yes. You are simply comparison shopping across publicly accessible regional versions of booking platforms. The booking link takes you to the airline or OTA's site where you complete the purchase normally. This is no different from checking multiple stores for the best price.

Do I need a VPN to book from a different region?

No. RegionFare provides direct booking links to the cheapest regional version of each site. You click the link and book normally β€” no VPN, no tricks, no special software required.

How much can I save?

Savings vary by route, but we typically see 10–25% price differences between the most expensive and cheapest regional market for the same flight. On a $500 fare, that can mean $50–$125 in savings.

Does RegionFare book flights for me?

No. RegionFare is a comparison tool, not a booking platform. We show you where the cheapest price is and give you a direct link to book on the original booking site (Skyscanner, Google Flights, Kiwi, etc.).

Will my ticket be valid if I book from a different country's site?

Yes. The ticket is issued by the airline regardless of which regional version of the booking site you used. Your booking confirmation, e-ticket, and all travel documents are identical.

Can I use my regular credit card to book from a foreign site?

Yes. Most booking sites accept international credit cards. Your bank will convert the charge to your home currency. Avoid dynamic currency conversion at checkout β€” always pay in the local currency for a better exchange rate.

Which booking sites does RegionFare compare?

RegionFare compares prices across Skyscanner, Google Flights, Kiwi.com, Momondo, Kayak, Trip.com, eDreams, and Booking.com. Each provider is searched across multiple regional market versions.

Does it work for hotels too?

Yes. RegionFare supports Booking.com hotel searches. Hotel OTAs also use regional pricing β€” the same room can be cheaper when booked through a different country's version of Booking.com.

Why do some searches show more results than others?

Different providers and routes have different levels of regional price variance. Some routes show prices from all 10 searched markets, while others may have fewer markets with available flights. The number of flights also depends on the route's popularity.

Do you store my search data?

We store anonymized search records (origin, destination, date, prices) to improve the service. We do not store personal information. IP addresses are masked before storage. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Is RegionFare affiliated with Skyscanner or any airline?

No. RegionFare is an independent tool. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any airline, booking site, or travel agency.
