Back in 2002, in Argentina, I had a similar problem (I was living in Brazil at the time). I purchased flight online in Spanish while in Buenos Aires and got a great price relative to the price quoted on the English version. However, when I went to pick up the ticket, I was told that I was given the wrong price and that the price I paid was only for Argentine nationals. They basically wouldn't let me get my ticket unless I paid the original price.
I don't remember the exact figures but it was something like $60 for Argentinians and $200 for foreigners.

- malandrew 12y agoAfter I bought my ticket. There was nothing on the site that said "This price is for Argentine nationals only". I was absolutely livid when I was in the office where I had to pick up the ticket. IIRC I told them that they deserved the banking crisis meltdown for commerce shenanigans like the one they were pulling (this was about one year after those events).
