Flight price help.

you could get £476 direct each way via Delta's own website on the dates bagandout mentioned - not sure if the £447 is direct or not - but if not, less than £15 per leg to fly direct would be worth it to me. Loads of combinations less than £500 as well. We would normally book direct with the airline unless the savings is massive, so probably would in this case anyway.

The £477 was direct, I double checked.

Greatly appreciate all the advice. I'll check again using the mentioned agents. The others ones may be fine but I'd hate to recommend a site that's dodgy.

Just searched ebookers and they have a direct flight on the 5th for £446, cheapest I've seen.

Thats the flight I was referring to above, its the same one that is on the Delta.com website. I think ebookers/Netflights/lastminute will all charge a credit card fee which will bump it up a bit (maybe 1-2% but check with each site), although it will still be cheaper than booking Delta direct. Its £454 on expedia.co.uk and they do not charge a credit card fee... so it might be worth seeing if that works out cheaper over all.

Personally I don't see the benefit of booking directly with the airline if its £30 more.

I guess having known people who have had trouble sorting out problems with flights when they booked through an agent (agent says talk to airline, airline says talk to agent you booked through..and around and around they go...in case of an issue, I'd rather be speaking to the airline, not waiting for a 3rd party to sort it out anyway) is part of it...I guess we also just like having the relationship direct with the airline, and not having any faffing about with a 3rd party. If the difference were significant, then sure...but for £30, we would book with the airline directly.

From my personal view you will go with a travel agency for your travel deals. By usage of travel agency you will get some cheap and good travel deals. During my last travel time i used flylink. ca website for my travel trip and it cost me just 827 US dollar From Toronto to Paris which bis very cheap and affordable. Hope this information helps you in future. Good luck for your travel.:beer:
