Book flights separately? Help please!

• experienced users can use travel sites without issues
• there may be cheaper discount sites
• first timers? a travel agent may be ideal to ensure things are done right.
  • Please don't make the mistake of booking children's tickets instead of adults, just because it's cheaper.
  • sometimes that cheaper ticket means getting up at weird hours
  • sometimes you extra time to make those connections.... how many connections are you willing to make for that cheaper rate
  • do they want advance seat selection?

I'd price out a few options from multiple sources ie) direct airlines, expedia, orbitz, caa etc. and pick the better deal.

However, University must be different these days compared to 20 years ago when 'quieter class time' was either Xmas break or reading week. That is an awful lot of work to catch up on and with final exams starting 3 weeks after she gets back, she won't have it easy.

I would have her make certain they can check in! I have read that you must be 21 in the U.S to rent a hotel room. Perhaps someone else in her party is? As for your actual question, I always do better on flights on my own - a T/A will look and give you the price, but I will stalk the airlines, different airports, etc. to get the best deal. HTH!
