Consolidator sites may offer significant discounts, but airfares purchased at these sites usually come with numerous restrictions. For example, tickets will almost always be nonrefundable and may also be nonchangeable. And certain flights purchased from consolidators may not be eligible for frequent flyer miles. Be certain to check on applicable restrictions before you pay for your ticket.
There is no clear leader when it comes to consolidator sites. Furthermore, because of the complexity and expense of building online reservations capabilities, few consolidators have developed efficient and easy-tonavigate sites that allow users to find the best flight and price. The best known consolidator—based on a long and profitable history as a ‘‘bricks and mortar’’ travel agent—is Cheaptickets.com, which offers domestic tickets on multiple airlines. However, Cheaptickets.com fares are frequently bettered by the best-known retail sites. Cheaptickets.com offers both an express search and a ‘‘power fare search,’’ which allows you to find the lowest fares and best travel dates for your itinerary. In addition, this site may offer the best fares to Hawaii, and is increasingly offering competitive fares abroad. Another consolidation site worth checking is Overstock.com.
