vayama airline booking

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Anyone ever use them?

They have tickets to China about 30% less than anyone else--makes me wonder. I did search and appears chief complaint is on their policy on cancelation--but still don't see how they can be that much cheaper.

I'll never understand why people take such risks with their travel and book through third party channels.

Buy a ticket straight from the airline you fly and you'll have much easier times with scheduling, changes, and connecting with someone to talk to should changes need to be made.

If you are finding tickets significantly cheaper than wha the airline is offering them for, there is a reason for it. Something will be missing.

I agree with marine and would add always book through american express. They always look out for you. It may cost 10 more but it is well it for large travel purchases.

I won't even go that route Woodson. Straight to the airline and/or hotel. I'll pay the bill with an AMEX card though.

Yes, it might cost a few dollars more. In some cases I'm sure it might cost a couple hundred. But when dealing with international travel the only options would be direct to the airline and maybe, just maybe, a local travel agent.

Every horror story people have about traveling and getting their travel plans screwed up starts with:

"So I bought my tickets on Expedia/Hotwire/Travelocity/blankwebsite.com..."

That's exactly my concern. However I have used a website flychina 4 or 5 times before and they have always been bout 15% cheaper than most and never had a prob.

I did use Amex card and for 1st time ever I did buy travel insurance.

Is tough to pass on $980 vs $1500 per person from most discount places.

Going through airline direct was almost $2000.
BNA to NNG (any dates)

I've already ordered them--so guess I'll find out. --not leaving until Nov so have ample time to rebook.

Good point. I just like the double rewards points for Amex.


Safe travel Dog and enjoy the experience. :0008
