Booking from US on UK website?

[A Monkey's Uncle]

When I started doing some research on a DLP trip for 2016, I ended up on the UK site unknowingly. I later was on the US site and couldn't find the same special offers I had seen before. I realize now that the different sites have different offers.

I went back to the UK site and didn't see anything indicating that I had to be from the UK to book the special offer. Does anyone know if it's possible to book from the US on the UK site? Thanks!

I'm from the US and I booked my trip on the UK site. Just don't change the country on the address when you book. All confirmation is sent to you by email so you don't have to worry about them mailing you anything traditionally. You may want to use a credit card that doesn't have a foreign transaction fee for your booking, I forgot about that and got a fee on my credit card.

I am from the US and booked on the UK site too. There was a spot for zip code and it didn't like my US zip code. I googled and found a UK zip code and entered that with my address and left the country alone. My purchase went through without a hitch.

You can book under any countries deal, as others have said leave the country as the country you are booking the deal through. Also booking online means it has to be paid in full at the time of booking.

And not that you would, but don't forget the prices you are seeing are not in USD, so don't be surprised when you see the "real" price I shopped around on the UK site and the French site and found the best deal, even with the exchange rate, on the UK site. We also called and had to adjust some things and they didn't care that we were not from the UK. So I suggest shopping around!

This has all changed about a month or 2 ago. You can no longer book on the UK site, using a UK address and a US form of payment. The form of payment will be rejected every time.

You can however book it over the phone. Call the reservations line for the country for which you want the offer and tell them your situation. They are very accommodating.

Thank you everyone! I checked out a few different countries, and Ireland seemed to have the best deal and price. We could get an extra night and still save $200 over the US site!
