Got my ETicket for the positioning flights.
When BA used to use viewdata (BA Link) it was an open secret that they used it to dump capacity, albeit it still happened via bucket shops / consolidaters.
I'm hoping Momondo is the same thing... because going direct to GetAFlight presented a much higher fare.

and do you have a ticket number? when did you book?
sorry for the questions - the online reviews of 'those sort of OTA's' suggest they issue a PNR but then call either straight away or a day or two later and explain that fare is gone....
just trying to figure out if these fares are bookable and who to use.

This is one of my bugbears about OTA's in general and usually the reason I just book with the airline its never as cheap but usually less hassle especially for changes

I'm looking to book an Amex 2-4-1 to HKG. I tried INV and LHR and the taxes were the same for both. Is this an online error or have I picked up incorrectly that I can save apd when departing INV?

Could you copy and past here the taxes/fees/charges breakdown for both options?

What KARFA said, definitely an error. I look at these all the time and the difference is always about £150 pp.

Doesn't work for Hawaii - almost a 1000 more expensive than Dublin and that is still to pricey 
Some people used to book Dublin to Hawaii in business for 1600 but now it's 2500 - is there a BA sale coming up at some point?
