GDG Airline Tickets GDG....HELP!!!! GDG

The cost is no different than you get directly from the airlines. If everything goes right you will have no hassles, but miss a flight, change a flight, get bumped from a flight and the airlines will treat you like a second class citizen. Same thing with hotels. I can't tell you how many times I have checked into a hotel and seen someone having problems because they booked through a service. You also do not get the best selection of rooms that way. Hotels just like the airlines offer the same rates on room with the exception of the bidding sites.
If you are taking even 3-4 flights a year book with the same airline and join their mileage programs, they pay off pretty quickly.

And you are the person I want to stand behind in the security line or customer service - seasoned travelers are a blessing....and your advice is spot on.

I look for the cheap tickets via Travelocity, Expedia, etc...and book through the airline directly. If you book through a third party, you are at their mercy and the airline will tell you to deal with them.

Check directly with Delta into Tallahassee. Any other airport will be at least 2 hours away.

Thanks to all!!! I booked with USAirways...directly! Good price compared to the travel agent...like $300 less. STL to CLT...CLT to TLH and reverse it on the way back. Great times...no long layovers

That's nearly always the best thing to do. Most airlines guarantee the lowest prices on their tickets.
