If you have any questions or comments about the article...
Can I please pay for my United ticket in USD, which is cheaper now? It's a flight from the US. On google flights it tells me at the link for payment in CZK "Local price according to Czech law.
You will complete your booking on the local website, which is subject to the laws of that country and uses the appropriate language, currency and available payment methods."
When I click on the previous link, it shows the price in USD unless I set a different currency in the top bar.
