2. A better alternative is http://www.alternativeairlines.com They specialize in booking on low-cost airlines which are not covered by the big aggregators. A USD$142 bumped up to $160.

Its not bad considering the alternative was paying $300+ on a regular airline.
I googled alternativeairlines.com and found no major complaints.

welcome to ft flyingillini....i have had problems booking with my US credit card but eventually the transaction goes through....thanks for the solutions presented above....even with an increased fee, i'm sure some people would still buy the ticket if they didn't have an alternative....
