    I'm looking at the flight and was about to book when I checked skyscanner again - virgin site is €1030, and expedia.ie has the same flight for €956. How can they do it cheaper?
    I'm just wondering if there is a catch with expedia.ie - I've never booked with them before.
    What do you think? Thanks for any advice

    Sometimes travel agencies have block purchased fares available to them when the airline has already sold out of their allocation of seats at that price. Personally I tend to book direct with the airline, even if it does cost a little more. Less hassle I'd something does go wrong as you don't end up dealing with a middleman.

    Personally I just always go for the cheapest option, for monetary reasons. I've mostly booked through other agencies rather than direct, most airlines are more expensive with direct booking. I don't see an issue with booking with expedia. I always get travel insurance anyway, irrespective of who I book with...
