Has anyone booked airfare through any of the agencies listed with Momondo? The booking agencies are listed as: eDreams, Bookairfare, etc. Some of the airlines listed are WOW Air, Norwegian and Turkish airlines. I am mostly concerned about the booking agencies. Let me know if you've used any of these and if you feel they've been a safe and straightforward option.

The safest and most straightforward option is to book directly with your chosen airline.

I agree - book w/ the airlines.

Those agencies you're looking at do not have live prices.

If you read the T&C's, which you should btw, when you initially book, what you're booking is a request for a ticket at that attractive fare that lured you in in the first place.

The agency then has to go to the airline (exactly as you would if you booked directly) and purchase a ticket on your behalf at the *current* price, which is usually more than that attractive price you thought you'd be getting.

So they ask you for more money. And, if you refuse, getting your money back can be a challenge.

Be wise and book directly with the airlines. You'll get peace of mind for the same price as those dodgy third party sellers.

Thank you! That explanation makes a lot of sense.

Except that momondo does not work like that;
