book direct with the airline. Little value in adding a middleman into the process....adds time and complexity (and often additional fees)
here are some recent experiences of Travel Up

If the prices are similar always book direct. Look and see what would happen if the airline went bust, agents will usually offer airline failure cover and may allow payment by instalments. If you book with the airline, then you have to pay in full at the time of booking0
