That's not true in any way, shape, or form. Maybe it's true for you, but don't assume it's true for others or for the the rest of the world.
When I book a flight ticket, I go to the airline directly, which is true for more or less all people I know. For me this will typically be KLM, AirFrance, or SAS. These companies are Dutch, French, and Swedish.
There are no "500 silicon valley engineers" between me and them.
The world is bigger than your little world. I didn't even know what Expedia was until I looked it up.
- Traster 6y agoThe expedia example was from the article not from me. Airlines could set up phone lines for direct purchases before the internet.
- killtimeatwork 6y agoIt works well for popular flights within Europe, but if you want to fly to bit less mainstream destination given your starting point (even something like Katowice -> Las Vegas, and back), you may end up on transfers between different airlines, or the return part of the journey may be via a different airline. Booking through Expedia, Kayak etc. is basically the only way (I know) to handle this with zero hassle.
