Anyone use Cheapotickets.com?

[RJLechner]

I have been looking for flights from DFW to MCO for Spring Break. Most travel sites and airline sites have the tickets starting at $500 Today I came across cheapotickets and found tickets on American for $250 (after taxes and fees). The deal seems to good to be true. Has anyone purchased tickets from this site? If so, what was you experience??

I looked for the same flights on aa.com but couldn't find the flight number...I guess that should be my answer. But wanted to get input here as I wait to pass up the great fare deal if people have had success with this site.

Could be a charter they're trying to fill...in which case if there is a problem with the charter flight you will be unable to 'move' to a regularly scheduled flight. Matter of fact, AA probably won't even talk to you about any changes; you'd have to go through Cheapo.

Personally, I wouldn't deal with any company that uses "Cheapo" as part of their name. You get what you pay for.....

It could also be a stale dated fare and when you go to actually pay for it, the fare will be unavailable.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll skip the "deal"...I would rather pay more and know that when I get to the airport I'll have a plane to catch. This is our first Disney trip with family...I don't need to risk having any issues.

My wife used them last year for a trip to San Antonio and they wound up charging her card a monthly membership fee for a few months before she caught on.

I would just keep watching the airfares via the actual airline sites. We are from DFW area and we usually get good deals from Airtran or American. In a couple of weeks, we will be leaving out on American for $74 pp one way and returning on Airtran for $59pp.

Good luck!
