Rare mr walker Posted February 26, 2020 #27 Share Posted February 26, 2020 So when we are encouraged by the travel industry to use an AFTA member it is worth jacks*$t ?? In any case, apart from using an agent that goes broke & leaves you out of pocket, why do people book thru these types of sites. I fly very often, and always book thru the airline direct and receive instant e-tickets. Now I guess it's possible the airline itself could go broke before my flight, but that's a whole 'nother story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted February 26, 2020 #28 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It's worth it to the industry body. Just a selling point, like a lot of things. As for practical benefit to the consumer though, nothing. FWIW, AFTA have said they're looking at whether they need to change anything as a result of this failure on their watch...

challis Posted February 26, 2020 #29 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) well... i booked a friends flight via fly365.com -singapore air- who departed a month ago ticket purchased in nov.19 and is due back in 2 weeks.thankfully,on the airline website the ticket is confirmed and obviously paid in full for the return . fly365 was aprox.$150 cheaper than booking direct with airline website $950 vs $1100 i thought thats a good saving,and have booked with 365.com previously found them via skyscanner But this news,another reason to not cut corners with tickets. its like walking through a minefield- note to self... go direct with airline website .do not penny pinch...bad things can happen to good people...

But is it a selling point to the public? Are TAs getting value for money with their membership fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that this company, and/or those associated with it, have previous form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
