Woman with coins in jar
When she told me she had latched down a fare for less than $1100 on an Air France ticket stock flight (flying on a Delta plane), I didn’t believe it. Then I saw the invoice. She was telling the truth. In one single airfare purchase, she had saved $1700 using this new comparison-shopping site. We ended up using it again about 3 days later. A fare for East Africa showed up as unavailable on the “classic” sites. Momondo found a seat — at a competitive price. Were these just two just freak occurrences? Could be. But it’s definitely worth a try. Please keep in mind: We aren’t being paid nor are we receiving any discounts by endorsing this site. And we aren’t travel agents, by any means. It’s just that it worked for us. One beggar telling another where to find bread.
There is always something useful in every issue of Brigada. And I have been receiving it for over 20 years! Thanks brother Doug!!
You are so kind to encourage, Andrew. Many people only respond when they have something about which to complain. : ) God be praised if there’s ever anything good that can come from Brigada. Thank YOU for being part of the Brigada family for so long and putting up with us!!!
Just checked on flights to Nairobi. Quoted $1074 per pax. But before I got around to entering pax info they multiplied the fare by 7 to over $7000 per pax. This was on flyus. Big ripoff I think. I prefer dealing with a personal travel agent.
Wow. So sorry to hear that. But the truth is, increasing the flight cost has been common for some time now on several websites, including those which are the most well-known. So sorry that you had a bad experience with this one too. For our part, it worked great, and our passenger just returned from Nairobi. The fare was as promised to us.
