So I was about to book a flight using Cheapoair.com - which actually was the cheapest price around.

But before I hit "buy", I decided to check online for reviews...and Yelp! is chock FULL of negative reviews for it!

I read through them, and most seem like user errors (wrong dates, wrong names, wrong price).

Usually I get better prices going directly through the airline website, but in this case they're cheaper.

I'm very confused & undecided.

Does anyone have any experience with Cheapoair.com or can recommend a reliable site to get cheap airfare?

Unless they are massively cheaper I'd book direct with the carrier - cheapoair sounds like the no-service-any-kind-of-problem-and-you-are-screwed option.

Yeah I was thinking about it, and maybe the extra $50 for peace-of-mind is worth it.

i use travelocity and no issues so far for about ten years.

also, priceline. because of william shatner

I tried Kayak and it sent me to Cheapoair.com

I seem to use Expedia, and haven't had any troubles. I don't know if they're cheaper or more expensive than anywhere else

cheapoair?!! is it real?

i use expedia a lot, never had any problems

I'll compare Expedia to Kayak & the actual airline sites.

Gotta buy this ticket before fares go UP!!!

I heard that optimal time to buy air fares is 4 months in advance

Wait...so I just missed it!?

Update:

Cheapoair = $820

Aer Lingus = $872

I am going to spend the extra $52 on peace of mind.

I wish my flight was 820 bucks.

Tell Nathan he has to go. And Tori Amos is playing in Amsterdam the week before the invasion so if he can stay that long he can see her there too. Being the fam that he is, I'm sure he knows all this already.

I submitted my passport renewal application yesterday.

I was toying with the idea of spending an afternoon in Iceland (since Icelandair stops there and allows like a 6 hr layover) but Aer Lingus has better prices.



But yes, I'm 99% sure that I'll be there!
