Honeymoon Flight

Hi Ladies,

As most of you know, I'm going to Tahiti on my honeymoon. I was just checking expedia. com for flights and they have my flight on there for 1,184.00 per person. My Travel Agent booked my flight at 1,413.00 per person, showing a total difference of almost 500 dollars. Now, I can cancel the Travel agent flight and book with expedia, but do you ladies think it is safe and wise to do that? I mean, I've used expedia for florida and other places like that, but never to another country.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Honeymoon Flight

I would check to see if you get a refund or not. Some flights you will get hit with a penalty for canceling. Some airlines will refund the difference if the price drops. I would check with your travel agent.

I've used Expedia and it has been fine, but I was just wondering whether you can really cancel the flights with the travel agent. Normally if it has been ticketed it's non-refundable.

Expedia is a great site and very reliable! We usually make all our travel arrangements through their site.

Re: Honeymoon Flight

did you tell you TA about it? See what they have to say, maybe they can get you that rate

Re: Honeymoon Flight

i used expedia for my trip to cancun, mx--everything went fine!

btw - whatever airline expedia is using for that rate, you might actually be able to get the rate a few bucks cheaper if you go to that particular airline's website using the info from expedia.

Re: Honeymoon Flight

Your agent should be able to re-book your flights at the cheaper rate

Re: Honeymoon Flight

The travel agent will not give me the lower rate.

If there is no penalty on the honeymoon, i'm going to book with expedia.

thanks ladies, I appreciate it!

Re: Honeymoon Flight

Perhaps your travel agent can match the Expedia price.

The TA may not, but the airline may. Try them directly. Good luck!!

Re: Honeymoon Flight

I'm still waiting for the TA to call me back. UGH.

Re: Honeymoon Flight

OK, TA called me back, and it won't affect my package, so i just booked the flight on expedia.

i just saved 500 dollars on my honeymoon! YEAY!!!!!!!!

I just hope we get a seat next to each other. That is the only bad thing, we dont find out our seating until we board. Or like a week before!
