Exactly.I personally would not book an air ticket through a 3rd party. IF there is an issue (schedule change, delay, etc) you could have problems getting it rectified.
I was going to post the same thing.
I do not ever suggest booking airfare with a 3rd party.
I am even very hesitant to book hotels with 3rd parties these days. It has to be a VERY steep discount. It’s just not worth the hassle if something goes wrong or if you have a change/delay.
But with airlines and all of their issues of late, no way in heck would I touch it for even a huge savIngs. Not worth any amount of money to deal with them in the event of a problem.
