Well...........in some cases ( not all) folks are trying to get DEALS on travel- hotles- resturaunts etc and this is where things can go wrong IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />. I had some friends that paid about 25 % less than I did for a flight- cruise- hotels combined and their trip was a NIGHTMARE with nothing they could do about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> They got a DEAL. Thus- crappy service etc went with their great deal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />. I try to get the best price with one exception.........I also want QUALITY so most of the time there is no discounts. Just like good guns and knives- ya get what ya pay for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I absolutely agree.

I sat in their [censored] phone queue all day almost constantly, from 8am to around 9pm that day. One time I was on hold for 4 hours, when the person finally got back to me with information the phone line died just as she was about to give it to me.

We finally got my in-laws a new flight, and I'm never again booking through a place like Orbitz, straight to the airline next time. Lets drink.

Great move on your part. Less frustration and your time is worth much more than that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I have another friend that is always looking for GREAT DEALS and he really doesn't save that much in the long run. His wife won't travel with him as they alawys get rooms next to elavators- smoking rooms- or whatever is " left over" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> . Concert seats where you need binoculars to see the performers !! Just ridiculous IMO. The really sad part is she is smokin hot and my cheap [censored] friend doesn't realize that somebody is going to treat her " special" and he is going to lose her from being a tightwad. Kind of like buying a knife made in China for a survival situation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> -OUCH <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
