Generally I purchase tickets directly with the airlines. There have been times in the past that I got a better price on Expedia. While I have always been happy with Expedia, in these times I would only book direct.
Directly from airline website.
Always directly with airline.
Direct from the airline.
In 2013 our travel agent had booked us a flight in Europe going from Spain to Italy on a regional airline using I think Expedia. About a week before we left for Spain, I went online to see their luggage restrictions and discovered that the airline went bankrupt and shut down. Expedia was still sending the travel agent reminding that the flight is was in a week, and even the day before we were supposed to fly sent an email reminder to check in online. She had never been notified that they were no longer flying. If I wasn't concerned about weight restrictions, we would have arrived at the airport in Malaga, Spain without a clue to what had happened and no flight to get us to Venice to meet up with friends(including the travel agent) for a cruise the next day. Expedia really screwed up and I don't trust any of those companies.

I always buy direct, but use Kayak to search for fares, both round trip and one way.
Always directly through the website. Changes and cancellations can get sketchy using a third party.
Exactly, and learned the hard way a number of years ago. We called the airline for support with a booking once and as soon as they heard that we booked through Expedia, well, I might as well have just hung up the phone.Originally Posted by WaltVB

Many times we book directly with the airlines BUT other times we use our Chase points to pay for the fare and in that case we need to use the Chase booking service. It is just as easy actually and when we needed to cancel due to Covid, Chase handled it for us and restored all points to my account. The only downside to using the points is then I need to consider the cost of the baggage. If I use the airline card I get free luggage.
