Thanks cfisher. For package deals, since after the Expedia acquisition, I've seen all of them come through as OTA -- around 4 purchases. Do you know if there are situations where they might not? And is there a way to tell how the flight will come thru before purchasing?

I guess it seems like it's a gamble nowadays
