I just face to face told the founder of Expedia.com

That the internet is less important that losing my job, and then we both laughed about Albertsons buying too many pistachios

Hey tell him I booked a ticket with them last month and the airline rescheduled and when I raised a support ticket with them they didn't even contact the airline for 3 weeks and lied about it until I threatened them

Expedia is trash for flights

Use google flights, they bought some matrix algorithm from a startup and now have the lowest prices

Skyscanner is a close 2nd

Yes, but also use Kayak for everything

but never actually book through it

i.e., use Kayak to find your hotel, but then always go direct to the hotel site to (98% of the time) get a rate thats at least $1 less

Same with flights - the boat site will help you cross reference every possible airline for the cheapest combo, but sometimes you get some really wild connections. Like, arrive in minnesota via alaskan air, go to bag claim then go back thru security and check your bag again and take a spirit air hop to Dallas, bag claim + security + check your bag again with southwest, then fly to [redacted]. All to save ~$100 at the cost of adding 6 hours to your trip from kansas to atlanta, which would have been only like 2.5 hours if you flew direct.

Back when i was working in radio, I would do this all the time to the call-in winners.

Caller #9? You can't wait to see Ed Sheeran play Thinking Out Loud? Neat, it's going to be 9 hours and 3 connections from Portland to Newark and you'll land 15 before doors open at MSG. Also your hotel is in Queens and your flight home tomorrow departs from JFK at 7:15am. Please subscribe to Sirius and iHeart Radio

Google flights and skyscanner are search engines. When you click buy on them it will still link you to agencies like expedia
