Flights - Ticket.fi?

harryc · Post by **harryc** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:27 am

Anyone have experience with Ticket.fi? They seem to have come out of nowhere with the best prices (in general). I booked a trip with them now and everything seemed to go well enough. I found my booking already listed on the airlines' system within minutes of booking.

I really wonder how any 'travel agents' survive any more.

Best prices?

The flight I'm interested in is 150 euros cheaper on Skyscanner

Sorry - meant to say '(in general)' - have edited. My comment based on searching I did for several trips - plus what seems to be on other forums. One thing is that one is directed there from Momondo which has a good reputation and wide following.

What airlines did Skyscanner find for you? Was it a 'far away places' destination?

I did look at Skyscanner for a few different flights here and there - in all cases the best prices and top suggestions were all 'unavailable' when you asked for 'lisätiedot'

that wasn't the case for ticket.fi

anyhow I just wonder how the B&M travel agents are able to manage - I also wonder why the airlines are effectively sending everyone to these net sites - and it all can't be based on volume buying - why should an airline care - or how should it affect their costs - if computer system #1 (net agent) puts 100 through the robot system or computer system #2 (B&M) puts 10 throught the same system?

Ebookers.fi cheaper than ticket.fi, looking for tickets now and noticed 20 euro difference on ticket.fi (low margins on portals) if you look direct from finnair.fi not much profit for outsiders i guess.

ebookers can be cheaper in some cases - but that can vary so much that one certainly has to 'shop'

if you look direct from finnair.fi not much profit for outsiders i guess.

that all depends on what 'net' price the airlines give to the 'agents' - and those vary VERY much on how many empty seats still showing, etc. etc.
