Is it cheaper to book airfare using AAA?

[mikethern]

I am going to use AAA to book Disney hotel and park tickets. Will I save money if I also book airfare via AAA?

Probably not. Airlines don't pay a commission to Travel Agents any more, so they all - even AAA - charge a fee. If you're an AAA member, the fee is low, but it's still a fee. Check the pricing yourself, using kayak.com. It's not a travel site, it's a travel search engine. Ask your AAA agent about airline pricing, but when I asked about a trip to California, I think their price was about $200 higher than what I could find on my own.

Definitely book airfare yourself. I won't use AAA for plane tickets or car rentals. You can always find better deals on your own.

My AAA agent told me that most TA's cahrge 30 to 50 per person to book arifare, so best to do it on our own.
