Booking Flights Online

by Ruth on June 12th, 2007

I receive a lot of comments and emails asking for help on getting quotes from airlines, particularly budget airlines. Actually, it’s really just easy folks and if you just go to the websites of the airlines you’re interested booking, you’d find that the procedure is real easy-peasy and user friendly. Just enter your origin and destination from the drop-down menus, select your preferred dates of travel (onwards, and/or return) and one click will lead you to a menu where you can choose the combination you’d like.

I reckon some of you are intimidated, or perhaps scared of online booking, but really, there’s nothing to be worried about. I myself have not been to a travel agent to book my flights or hotels in the last 5 years or so. I do everything online and have never had any mishaps. Unless you’ve reached the very end where you are asked for the passenger names and your credit card numbers, you can always close your browser and nothing is binding. So you can browse today and check the fares, and if you’re still undecided, you can cancel it at that point.

Sorry, but I can’t handle your flight inquiries, as I’m really not affiliated with any of these airlines. Besides, that’s what makes online booking cheap: you do it yourself. As an alternative, if you really want someone to lead you through the process, you can always call the hotlines indicated on their websites.
