HELP PLEASE: Iguazu Falls: Domestic booking ex UK
Hi
Whilst in Brasil in Nov/23 am v.interested in a short excursion to visit the Iguazu Falls
Priced up LATAM flights and a 2 night stay at the Belmond by booking each myself at £1298, flying direct in Prem Plus GIG<>IGU
Just looked on Expedia and could do the same for 1,199 (less quidco cashback of 8%)
The difference+cashback will help pay for the extras on site..
Are the risks of booking thru Expedia higher or lower than going direct to each vendor?
TIA and HNY

I have no direct experience with using Expedia. I believe AmEx uses Expedia and in some online groups I often see negative comments or reports of problems from people who have used Expedia. I would also think that should any irregular operations occur, you would be better off not using a third party for your bookings.
