Damn, I think I may have left it too late with airfares. I've been juggling a few things including dates I can get off work and have prolonged committing to booking flights for perhaps that little bit too long. Last week I was looking at flights that went via LA for about $2,200 (1st July - 15th July ish) and tonight I have looked and all those flights seem to be gone with the cheapest option being via Manilla for $2,580. Is the window of opportunity closing out on me or is webjet just being retarded today?
Also, is there any reason to book with travel agents these days? What can they offer that we can't get using something like webjet? I always used to think that the great advantage of using them was that they could book a flight and hold it with a deposit for a week or two, but now it seems that everything needs to paid in full within 24 hours which makes them seem kinda redundant... And what do they use to find their flights anyway, is is just webjet or do they have some fancy internal access that shows more options?
