Is it better to buy from the airline (BA.com) or orbitz? if i buy from orbitz i then need to buy insurance, while BA i dont think i need special insurance. thanks
Does BA give any FF bonus for purchasing on their site? (I know other airlines usually give 500-1000 bonus.) How much is the insurance?
If the combined difference amounts to the same, it's your choice.
Personally, I check sites like Orbitz to compare the prices of many airlines, but then go to the airline's site for the bonus miles.
