I booked with Ebookers once I realised that it was £70 cheaper (for two tickets, same flights) than with IB directly. The money difference has been spent on the tickets needed to get back to London.
Just need to wait a couple of months for the pair of Eurostar rail tickets from London to BRU to be released for sale and we're done.

AND Cancelled!
I just received an email from the OTA and they have cancelled the reservation. I can confirm that the booking code no longer works on the Iberia or BA pages.
Searching now on IB, prices are coming in at around €500 rt. Some OTAs show lower prices still, but continuing to the linked booking sites, the tickets reprice.
So sad...

Did they give you a reason?
Mine are still holding.

The IB website is now showing £677 for an adult and child (on BA metal). That's not a huge amount more than the £450 their IB routed itinerary was being sold for earlier today.

I've a booking and still 50h or so to complete the purchase... I have a PNR I can see on Checkmytrip and even tickets numbers... let see what happens when I complete the payment this afternoon.
Anyone received any comunications from IB for tickets bought on their website?
