airline consolidators
 
hi, <BR> <BR>i am thinking of using one of airline consolidator affiliates to purchase our tickets to london. <BR> <BR>has anyone had any problems with them. they seem to have the lowest round trip rates. i found tickets for 5 people at around $412 roundtrip. <BR> <BR>i know you can sometimes find specials cheaper out of jfk, newark and others, but we are leaving from nc out of charlotte and dont want to pay connector fligts. <BR> <BR>any help or advise? <BR> <BR>sandy c <BR>

You might want to try asking this question on www.eurotrip.com - - on the "cheap flights forum" - - they know everything over there about consolidators and such. Especially Don - - a god among bargain hunters -- and scam-sniffers, perhaps. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR> <BR>

I've been using a consolidator (Fare Deals) for years. Sometimes I find better prices on my own, but usually not. I've always gotten excellent service from them and never had a problem. But every business is different. If you're concerned, ask them for references.
