Agree with all. Book directly with airline. Once booked with agents for a multi-leg flight. One of the transits was at minimum time for that particular airport. Incoming flight retimed for 10 minutes later. Asked the agent to rebook me on an earlier flight. The response was; ‘No, it’s only ten minutes difference’. Stressed me out. Never again.

Avoid third party sites. Purchase directly from the operating airline app.

how about visa? How this new system works ? You apply on line without sending passport for actual visa? ThanksHenry *******
@Mihai *******
Don't know anything about this new e visa systemNot done it yet and was advised on here to wait until around 2-3 weeks before my flight before applying
Henry *******
@Mihai *******
OK. similar to what I paid, I think the trick is to book at least 2-3 months before you want to fly because if you wanted to go this month the prices would be very highReply to

Ha ha Just tried to book a flight from Manchester UK to Bangkok with Emirates and it was £4,330 economy return, the last time I flew with Emirates in 2019 I paid less than £500 and that was in high season NOV . Other airlines and skyscanner are also quoting silly prices So will leave it until later in the year when prices get back to normal ? if they ever do ?

Yes, always use the AIRLINES SITES to buy tickets, etc.
I used a couple of ‘online’ ticket sites but when I had to cancel a flight and rebook, their ‘insurance’ only gave me $200 on a $1400 ticket. Started always using the airlines sites then. Never been ‘burned’ again.

I usually just use the apps to find the cheapest flights and then go to the airline to book. I booked a flight in July for Canada. Lufthansa was the cheapest and I got the same price booking with them directly. My Itinerary changed due to canceled flights but left me with very long layover. I just called the airline and they booked me with another Carrier. Was an easy fix because I was dealing right with the airline and not a travel app.

If you need to change your flight, which I often do once in-country, it is much easier to do if you book with the airline itself. Sometimes you are bounced back and forth between the airline and travel service, each blaming the other.

Skyscanner for starters.
At any rate, whatever app you use, avoid Kiwi travel. They lie and connive to make a sale.

If you use Skyscanner and find a cheap fare on one of the booking sites they show.. don't every use any of them.. go directly to the airlines website. Many of them are shady companies. Even Google flights shows you such sites.

I also agree. I use agoda or orbits for my search and then I go direct to the airlines to purchase.

Google flights…. You get the cheap price but get to book with the actual carrier… that way if your flight is changed you do not have such a huge hassle and expense changing the flights as you would booking through discount sites….

Skyscanner first, then book through individual airline.
Even if slightly more expensive in these uncertain times.
Better for changes or security etc.
Just booked with Qatar from UK

Expedia, Kayak or with the airlines' site themselves -- rather depends on the carrier.
