"Do aggregators change prices based on geographic location of the buyer?"

Not sure if they do, but airlines do. I wanted to fly from NYC to Singapore for a few days, and then fly to a friends wedding in the Philippines. Searching the websites, the fares were ~600$ but my singaporean friends said it should be cheaper. So I flew to singapore, walked into a local travel agent office and got my tickets for around 150 SGD

Its hard to tell because they change pricing based on so many other factors relating to browser usage history. Try an aggregator with the same query in both a normal tab and a private tab after doing a bunch of googling for the destination.
