Wholesale Flights

being in the US I would be wary. Just bearing in mind too that many USA citizens call any 'up front' cabin 'first class' - so the advertised F class deal may in fact be a business class, or a 'business premier' or something. Or maybe even they are flying pax on Air Pacific - which is cheaper than their advertised prices in biz class anyway.

I feel anyone making a booking thru this mob would fins it extremely difficult to change their bookings after the initial 24 hour window without fees and charges that may not be charged if booking direct with an airline or some travel agents.

Whilst I don't think this crowd would have any exclusive fare or allocation of seats they may be capitalising on the fact they may have access to lower fare levels for flights ex Australia but only saleable overseas similar to the recent thread regarding SYD/BKK fares booked through the Irish Expedia site.

If this site in the US can access these fares then I would think any other US based travel agent could also.

Got another email from them this morning, apparently they have tried to call me but been unsuccessful (obviously, since they would have called in the middle of the night). They then repeated the same vague details as before.

I'm not going to follow up, my inclination is to think this is a scam. I have a hard time believing that they've got some ultra-secret special deal with various airlines that lets them offer fares far cheaper than anyone else, it just doesn't make sense.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it must be a duck. Always go with your gut instinct.

If it sounds too good to be true ...

.....it usually is.
