I, for one, don't trust the airlines enough to do it. I tend to think that they'll try to weasel out of paying. I know from experience that our major US chains with a similar policy do so. If I find a plane ticket cheaper on a different website for the same flights...I buy it on that other site. Especially with the dynamic nature of airline fares....what's there now might not be there in 10 mins. When CO (or whatever airlines) goes to check verify the lower price.. and it is gone...then you're screwed. You can take screen shots etc...but will they accept them? Well if they're looking to get out of paying...maybe not.
Renard - you must BUY, not just find a lower fare on another site to claim the LFG. All the screen shots in the world won't help. Actually makes sense, too, as those lower fares are quite often unavailable when you try to complete the purchase to say nothing about what shenanigans someone with basic Photoshop skills could try to pull.
