As it happens, tried to purchase a ticket on United.com for a trip from Chicago to Asheville, and it would not allow me to purchase a ticket from the UK. I did not use any drop down menu or put my residence in until I was well advanced in the booking. The pop up screen stated that I was not allowed to purchase the ticket using a credit card registered outside the US and directed me to the UK based website. Naturally when I got to the website, the UK price for the exact same flight was nearly $280 more for the round trip.
Delta I am sure could detect that the IP address was outside of the US. They are simply doing what Delta does best...ripping off it's customers with impunity.
