Air Tran versus Cheap Tickets?

[jsweeks@cogeco.ca]

I got a qoute from Air Tran and it was $1080. for the 4 of us. I went on last night to Cheap Tickets and they qouted me under $800. What do you do, I am so at a loss. Help!

Why the dilemna? Buy from Cheaptickets. But ensure the flights, etc are what you need (ie compare apples to apples).

I've bought using Cheaptickets in the past, with no problems.

I agree - we often deal with CheapTickets.com, and they've always come through - reliable, and typically always the cheapest for flights. If apples = apples, then buy the ticket and take the ride (HST).
Cheers!

I would assume that you would like to save the money, so you could go with Cheap Tickets. If you booked your trip through a TA, they should be able to book your flights for you at the same price you are getting online, and then you have the peace of mind that you may be looking for. I would ask them if I were you.

The trick, as mentioned quite a few times recently on here is to find a true "Disney Specialist". I found that out the hard way once, booked a trip with CAA locally (southern ontario) and it turned out I knew more than they did and were of NO help at all to me, in fact, I ended up moving my reservation to someone else that could answer all my questions.....even a question like booking my flights.

Let us know how you make out.

Sometimes- you can find cheaper flights yourself online.
Remember, VERY few Airlines pay any commissions to to TA's anymore...so often a TA has to add a nominal booking fee to the transaction.
Certainly worth asking though if they have a Consilidator that has any fares for you that are cheaper!

You are right, but there are also TA's that as a part of their service (especially Disney Specialists) will go above and beyond and book it for you if you have booked the rest of your vacation through them. It is always worth asking your TA for sure.

I 'suspect' it is in there somewhere! No matter how much they go 'above and beyond'! Face it- they do this as a job because no matter how much they love the Mouse and sending people there, they require some income!
