Hi zil,
I don't know about in Canada, but for years my son used them in NYC and he never had a problem and the prices are really great!
He used them for his flights to Amsterdam and Germany every summer!

We sell consoludators all the time to our clients on the east coast. They are a ton cheaper, and still use the major airline. All that happens is that they buy in bulk and can give a discount. I don't know who you are considering to use, but ours only sells to Travel Agents, and we then sell them to clients.

LissaJ--Can you please tell me more about this? I'm clueless and would appreciate your input. Thanks in advance

Basically the consoludator works out a special price with the airline. They get disounts because they sell so many air tickets. We call them, and get a really good price for our clients. For example, my bf wanted to go to Europe. He looked at a few of the web sites, and was getting $1500, I called the consoludator and was able to get it for $1200. The only thing is when there is a seat sale, it is cheaper to buy direct from the airline.
