None taken mate:cool:It wasn't a pop at all, I was just saying I don't think you will get a quote from anyone - there is no money to be made from selling simple flights only. I'd recommend comparing a couple of online prices then calling an agent or two and booking. If it's a complex itinerary, rtw or similar, post it on the main board.
But I think that no-one will otherwise respond.
Like yourself, having the information readily available here to scout around, it's gonna be difficult for anyone to come back and say yeah I can beat that.
Just wish ZOOM flew in winter to Edmonton!:mad:
