Best Way to Book: through TTR website? Expedia? Elsewhere? Does it matter?

thanks henry that is good news. Can't wait to see you two

 

We have found the best deal thru alpharooms and then we book our flights directly thru the airlines.

 

In July, we went for 12 nights, from canada it was cheaper to book air and hotel right with TTR, in nov and this trip in jan, booked with redtag vacations which was the best deal around. A lot of times it's only 800 ppr or less for all in even with transfers for seven nights. Luggage and meals on the flights included too.

 

The last couple years, Orbitz has been the best for flying out of St. Louis but this year, Apple Vacations won the deal. We love nonstop flights and pay a little extra for the luxury.

Happy Shopping!

 

I know this is a UK answer but the same may be true for our US and Canadian cousins - we were just about the click "book" with Expedia and then I looked at the terms and conditions and saw that Expedia were using a particular travel agent in the UK for the booking. I found the agent online and found that going direct to them saved £300 (no idea what that is in $ I'm afraid!) for exactly the same holiday AND we could pay in two halves whereas Expedia wanted payment in full.

I may have just bored you to death or given you a top tip! Who knows?!

We have used Apple for both trips. Great customer service and non-stop flight from St. Louis.

 

Apple for first trip and Funjet for next trip flying out St Louis non stop

 

As a Travel Agent i recommend you shop around.
Check to see who has the best offer for you and yours.
You really have to shop around and weigh. As it has been said earlier last years bargains may have changed drastically.

 

We used Travelocity. We found that by creating our own package, we were able to save a few hundred dollars per person compared to all the other sites!

 

If SpiritAir flies to where you are - they are dirt cheap, and you can get the rooms through Alpharooms. Last year I bought through travelocity (and I tried all things) and this year is Cheap Caribbean. But after I found out about Spirit air - that would have been cheaper to do.
