Third Party Consolidators

[bohaiboy]

Has anyone found a reliable consolidator for international BC trips?  Not talking Expedia, but an independent company that you have used multiple times without issues?  I was given the via-trav.com and they were quoting very competitive pricing, but now they are not answering emails  Raises a flag for sure.

I imagine those would be travel agencies, and we are not allowed to discuss those on Cruise Critic.

Theres’a no magic place to get discounted business class airfare.  Most of these companies are selling you tickets using another person’s frequent flier miles which they have purchased.  Selling miles  is against the rules of every frequent flier program I’ve ever heard of.  Airlines have entire fraud departments that track activity like this. Don’t even consider it unless you want to show up at the airport and find your ticket canceled.  
The address for this company is a strip mall in Boca Raton, FL, and the business at the suite number says it’s “Family Savings, LLC” and “QMS Global, Inc.”. They state they only communicate by email.  Run. Run fast.

That they use FF tickets is the least of the issues.

 

You may not even get a ticket at all.

 

Simple rule:  If it's too good to be true......it isn't real.

 

Caveat emptor.
