@esebm Where does About Opera say it should be?

@esebm There is no folder called 'profile', the profile folder is the one indicate in 'about Opera' next to 'profile'.

Also, 'local state' is a file, not a folder.

OK, found it, thanks.
Can't make head or tail of it, sorry.

@esebm This is what I did.
Opera menu - paths - copy the profile path - find in directory - scroll down to 'local state' - open in notepad- change country codes.
Having said all that it didn't fix the issue though.

Look for cookies in Opera/Settings/Privacy/Cookies for that site. Then delete them, add that site to exceptions in "Cookies/Exceptions" and set it to block further cookies from that site.

Let us know if that helps.

@bbildman Thanks but no dice. It still defaults to .co.uk regardless. I get this notification:
"Please enable cookies to get best experience from our website. Some features might not work with cookies disabled." It must be the company itself redirecting to the local area even though I've changed everything to US. I've even tried it in Tor, but again no luck.

Do you have your browser set to not restrict cookies in any way, as well as letting the site set local data? The site sets at least 23 different cookies of its own plus uses local storage. If you're allowing all cookies and permitting local storage, have you tried visiting the site after first clearing everything?

@tjrjn How other browsers behave?

@blackbird71 yeah, that's the first thing I did. It didn't help. Thanks anyway.

@leocg I've tried a different browser on a different computer - no luck.

@tjrjn Then it's not an browser issue. Most probably the site is using something else to detect your region and/or language.

Never thought it was. If you enable the VPN you get redirected to the UK site.

Since it's happening for you on multiple computers and browsers, it may be wisest to try getting through to their technical support people (though there appears to be no website support number directly listed for their contacts). I'd start with pinging some of the options (chat, customer support request, etc) on their https://www.cheapoair.com/customersupport/ page until you can get hold of somebody that has website responsibilities or knows who does.
