Is Expedia the cheapest?

Trying to book my flight for Jo'berg and can't believe how I hear people buying tickets for about £500 but the only ones I can find are about £750 through Expedia!!!!

Does anyone know of any good places to book tickets online, from London to Jo'berg?

Find the flight you want and then go direct to the airline. Both the airline and websites like Expedia draw from the same pool of flights.

When I went on holiday to America last year, my mate used Expedia and other websites to find the cheapest flight and then went direct to the airline. In the end we ended up getting them cheaper direct from the airline.

Were you booking the exact same flights as the other people?

Other than the ones marked "Expedia special fare" then most are the same or more than direct with airline

I have seen the special fares be more than the airline too so watch out

Ye exactly the same flight. We checked the flight numbers and the airline was doing them cheaper.

No just me going on this trip, others will already be there when I land.

Kinda hard to compare costs then due to differing factors that can cause some flights to cost more than others :/
