UKNM: why buying transatlantic online seems a waste of time..

[Leslie Bunder]

Putting on my hat as a online consumer, I decided i wanted to book online

for a flight I will be taking to Toronto in November... and all i want is a

good deal which i thought you could get online...but despite all the hype of

online travel agents, it really seems impossible to find deals...


Having been to every single major site such as ebookers, travelselect,

travelstore, thomas cook, airline network... the price of my flight is the

same with all of them...


Pricing is one important element of booking online and it seems amazing that

all of these sites are charging exactly the same! - despite all of them

claiming to offer "great deals"....


I even tried using Kelkoo to see how good it's comparison service is for

flights but alas that was pretty poor as it was slow and just gave me one

page displaying travelselect... ('er I thought the whole point was to

compare prices, but comparing seems rather odd...)


Yes, it is good to book online and saves time on the phone to trailfinders

or another agent, but really...when you are actually trying to book

something online, deals can be hard to find...
