EuropeByAir.com what is your experience with them?
I came across EuropebyAir.com using Google and have never heard of them. Im always skepticle of websites I've never heard of and cant find any current reviews from Fodorites about this website. Im looking to buy a flight from Miami to Athens in August and due to time contstraints (need to arrive in Athens in the morning to board a cruise) the cheapest flights i found average $1660 per person through Air Canada! Yikes! However, a similar search using EuropeByAir.com quoted me the same flight with the same carrier (Air Canada) for $1080per person...but i'm always hesitant when a price is too good to be true. What is your experience with EuropeByAir.com and do you recommend I buy the cheaper fare through them or not risk it and buy the same flight at the $1660 price through Air Canada. Thoughts?

I know nothing about europebyair.com but I would ask myself why they have no physical contact address. Any business worth its salt has one.
It's just an ad on the internet - the only way you'll know if they're any good is by spending $1000. Your choice, but I wouldn't.

This is a legitimate company that's been in business for a long time, but I don't have any personal experience. You make your bookings, and then they used to give out paper coupons that you had to exchange for tickets at the airport before you could check in for your flight (a time-consuming hassle, though one that offered savings). I don't know what they do these days. And they only offered flights within Europe. I guess that's changed as well.
Perhaps repost this in the Europe forum, which tends to be busier. The company has been discussed there many times, but I don't know if it's come up recently. Definitely do a search (Google tends to work better than our own internal search engine).

Just happened to notice mention of EuropeByAir.com in Rick Steve's travel book on Croatia pg 717. As Rick Steves is highly regarded expert on world travel, it appears this company is legit. He recommends it for Croatia especially...so certainly can't hurt to at least check into it. He says tix can only be purchased in US for "flight pass" (don't know exactly what that means, but..)+ to call 1-888-321-4737 M-F only
