2. is it safe to buy the ticket through them?
I understand that making changes etc will be a nightmare, but it’s two weeks out so no schedule change, it’s non-refundable or flexible in any case, and if it all goes wrong (last minute canx, etc) then I don’t think I’ll be significantly worse off.
any experience/thoughts?
thanks
Funnily enough, I used worldairfares (March 22) for a business class fare LHR-HEL.
It was a Finnair flight with a BA number. The price was ridiculously cheap... £238 return.
I ensured that I flew on the A350s so as to maximize the trip.
How they managed to get this fare no idea.
If my memory serves right, BA wanted close to £1K, and AY was in the £600+ region.
I read the terms and conditions closely, checked them out on Companies House, and the maligned TrustPilot reading the 1* reviews.
Paid on AmEx card and was getting ready to dispute the charge if goods were not delivered.
After 48 hours there was no ticket, so dropped them an email and rang.
PNR was delivered and watched the booking like a hawk in manage my booking.
Would I do it again?
Yes, if I felt the potential saving was worth the risk.
