I've sent 2 emails to them in the last two days with no response, and when I called them today, the gentleman wasn't able to provide me with any information and said someone from his team would be calling me back.
My trip isn't until August so I have some time to get this figured out... I'm just concerned now that the super deal I stumbled upon was a scam but based on what I'm seeing in this forum, exploretrip.com is legit. Can someone confirm? I already booked accommodations based on the "Confirmation" email from ExploreTrip.com so I'm hoping everything doesn't fall through. Argh!
Best,

I booked through Explore Trip as well and it took about 36 hours, give or take, for my card to get charged and for me to receive my actual e-ticket.
Best to wait to make future plans until your card gets charged and until you get the e-ticket - even wait a bit longer just to make sure the airline doesn't yank the error fare bookings.
Hope this helps! Best of luck.
