Airfare Booking Search Engine Question

[DisneyElf]

I am in the process of booking my flights for the Med cruise - and have run into this search engine/booking site.

flycheapaboard.com -- I found a one way ticket - for $ 569 pp - all taxes incl. - to Paris. The airline isn't named - but by using other sites I am 99.9% sure it is the Air France Flight leaving JFK at 5:50 PM and arriving in Paris at 7:10 AM .

Any suggestions?

Eeek... I'd be careful. Try one of the metasearch sites - like kayak.com, sidestep.com or Yahoo! farechase. All three of those are reliable search-engine type sites that let you search airfare on many different airlines at the same time, but then they link you directly to the airline's website (i.e. United doesn't have any booking fees - but you would incur them through a site like Orbitz).

This way you know exactly what you're getting, and you're working directly with the airline, not a 3rd party.

I agree - hesitant about using them .... but - BookingBuddy - does pull up their site & refers you to them.


I figure - IF I do go this route - I will buy the tickets on a CC - then wait 4 hours or so - call the Airline - they tell me I'm on - and confirm they have the booking. Otherwise I call the CC company - and dispute the charges !
