Vayama/Air Berlin to Rome
Hello,
Has anyone booked a flight to Rome (Miami to Rome) via Vayama and/or flown on Air Berlin? Just wonder if they are reliable/good they are.
Thanks in advance!

We've flown Air Berlin often - mostly on short hops from Copenhagen to Berlin. We've also connected in Berlin and on to Rome via Air Berlin. The planes have been new, clean, and service - although sparse - certainly efficient.
I've also booked on vayama but primarily for my international flights to and from the USA. I've never had any issues, but I've never had to change a flight. Some folks say that can be challenging.
I often book through third-party sites as we travel throughout Europe on smaller, Euro-airlines. Sometimes kayak, mobissimo, momondo, cheapOair, and others beat the more established airlines.
But I do login on the airline site to verify my "reservation" number, flight info, and baggage status. My only issue was a third party booking on an Air Baltic flight. My Copenhagen to Venice flight, connecting in Riga was classified as a return trip on the Air Baltic site??? After an email conversation with Air Baltic, it really was a semantics issue... You can save up to 40% on a third-party site but do follow-up!

vayama.com is fine good personal experience
skyscanner.net cheaper sometimes use it a little more
airberlin.com is an ok econo have flown reviews not
to great on their TransAtlantic Planes Iberia.com your
other option out of MIA more direct.
them in the past in big financial trouble
right now pretty much bankrupt just like AA.com
has recently been rumored to be recent layoffs stc
Planes still fly fine though airlinequality.com
will have recent reviews...not much legroom cattle
car experience with screaming babies etc..
So good luck!

I have used vayama to book international flights. No problems. I have also used other third-party sites when their rates were lower than the airlines' website, also with no problems. If the prices are comparable, though, I book directly with the airline.
