Nervous about Bookit.com airfare rates?

[AR81]

Has anyone used bookit.com to book airfare and hotel packages and can tell me how their experience was? The package deals almost seem too good to be true. Especially with the airfare... Will I be hit with a bunch of extra fees once I get to the airport if I book with them? We will be flying out of Dallas, DFW and the airline listed is Spirit Airlines.. I have never heard of them before... Any advice or reviews of using bookit.com?

I've used them several times for hotel only reservations over the last 2 years or so. Never had a problem, even when I needed to cancel reservations. (There was a $20 cancellation fee...but I knew that upfront.)

In fact, I currently have a hotel reservation through bookit. I called the hotel directly to see if they could match the price and they were unable to. The clerk explained to me that the big travel companies are able to offer larger discounts based on their volume of sales.

I would make sure to read all the fine print. I've also called to ask questions and was pleasantly surprised at their helpfulness and attention to detail.
