35. I still like his chances against me
I'm only 5'5" so I think he's taller than I am. Plus he's a boy.

Are you all going to act as my 'Secret Service Detail?'

4. Yes. It was started by two Hawaiian men and has grown well
If they offer you a deal you want, you should feel comfortable purchasing from them.

18. They're now owned by Cendant
According to opensecrets.org, they give a higher % of their donations to repugs. Cendant also owns Orbitz.

I'd book with the airline directly and save the service fees. Can you fly Jet Blue? They're pretty blue.

23. Jet Blue doesn't go where I want it to
And I looked for the flight I want at the airlines website, and they didn't have the return flight I want. :shrug:

8. Be careful
I had to cancel a trip due to my daughter being in the hospital and they were less than pleasant to deal with as far as rebooking! (I had no problem with paying for the cancel fees, but they made it very difficult - they already had our money, therefore they felt they did not need to provide any more service - moral of the story - get trip insurance.)

24. They all have them for about the same price
I ended up getting my tickets directly from American Airlines because they actually allowed me more options to which times I wanted to travel.

The nice thing about the website discounters like Cheap Tickets is you can find out where the best prices are.

I also use them for booking hotels but I'll always call the hotel directly for reservations. If I tell them I found a certain price from a web discount travel site they will always offer it.

SECRET TIP!!!!!

Seriously - this is true! You find a price on a web travel discount site like Cheap Tickets but you still check around. but then you go back to the original site and suddenly that really great price disappears. Why? Those sites track your cookies. I had that happen to me once - cleared out my cookies and the low price came back again!
