Flight booking websites
Does anyone know of a reliable third party site to book international flights? I live in Spain and I want to go to China. I've seen good flights on 'eDreams' and 'Travelpack' but both sites have bad reviews online. I tried to book direct with the airline, but because it's two different airlines, I couldn't do it as one booking. Any idea?

In Europe, www.skyscanner.com Internationally, www.kayak.com consolidates many different agencies and airline sites. www.vayama.com
www.orbitz.com
www.hipmunk.com
www.cheapoair.com are sites I watch regularly. www.itasoftware.com provides data to many airlines and can be used to check possibilities although it does not sell tickets. Google now owns the operation.
There are many others. The only feedback on their reliability arises from something going wrong. The amount of personal service you can expect as a remote customer in times of trouble is not huge. If you want that kind of attention you should book through a full-service travel agent in person.

I have booked through ebookers.com, vayama.com, cheapoair.com, and expedia.com and had good experiences with each. After booking, I always confirm immediately with the specific airline and am usually able to reserve a seat right away.

Ill second Kayak for economy deals. If you want to fly business class, use these guys www.letsflycheaper.com They have better deals in that regards then Orbitz or Kayak.
