What is the point of researching available flights and fares on expert flyer when you then go to travelocity and find out that none of the good fares are available?
Why not just search for flights using travelocity to begin with?
EF is a great tool when you're doing more sophisticated shopping. If you're going from point A to point B, aren't interested in maximizing routing for miles or looking at rules to play with connections, etc. It's likely overkill. It also does a good job of helping you find available award inventory on most airlines, when you're looking to book a trip.
If you are just buying generic tickets, aren't focused on status or getting the most for every buck, it might be too much .... it often is for me given my travel pattern
