Airfare Options
 
I'm starting to research airfare for a trip to Italy in March, in case I find a great rate, or at least to get familiar with usual fares. I'm finding excellent rates on www.fly911.com/ Has anyone had any experience with this company, good or bad? Any other tips on finding good airfare?

Haven't ever heard of it but what a strange name.

With the exception of consolidators -- which can include some vacation packagers and airline affiliated agencies -- it is not all that common for a particular seller to have exclusive access to substantially lower fares. Research anywhere, but when it comes to actually PURCHASING, choose from a solid operator that you know will deliver. (For me, that almost always ends up meaning a direct purchase from the carrier or its vacation arm.)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

I went to www.fly9911.com

It switches to http://domain365.com/ which wants to sell me a domain name.

Natalie,

Here is a site that I recently found. Try it out.

www.mobissimo.com

ira,

You have an extra "9" in the url you typed here.

Gretchen, I thought the same thing at first, but I think the context is probably supposed to be "help", like you call 911 on the telephone to get help.

While ira may have typed it wrong on the posting (above), I found the same thing, and I am sure I typed it correctly. And a search on google.com leads to the one and only (redirected) site mentioned above.

I <i>do</i> feel like I have seen some kind of consolidator named <i>something</i> like this, but I can't think what its name might be.

Tell us what site you're actually talking about, Natalie...

Best wishes,

Rex

<b>www.fly911.com</b> does not exist. Are you sure you got the right address?

A good, reliable site is <b>www.1800flyeurope.com</b>

Oops! My bad. The actual site name is even more unfortunate, www.911fly.com. It was established before 9/11, but is kind of a poor name to have. Anyway, sorry for the mix-up and thanks for the help!
