Yep...
This is what happens from flights from the UK...
I use a screen-scraper's to find the best deal and then go direct to that TA (that TA passes on any discount they receive - not 100% but a lot of it), but if you can mix a TA with a quidco discount then they will have lost money.. (I do this with Netflights as they are frequently cheaper that QR).
The flights i have on the 29th saved me £39 by booking through Travelsupermarket.com which took me to holidaygenie (if i went direct through holidaygenie the price went up for some reason?) so this £39 or about $70 was worth saving for the same flights...
