Austin Travel

This travel agency is supposed to have discounted tickets? I called them and got a quote for about $1250 from LAX to dominica, but on kayak.com I got a quote for about $950.

Does this agency really have discounted tickets or not (my cheaper ticket included flights on LIAT, but that doesn't bother me)?

Dates were 31-Aug to 21-Dec 2008

If you're able to get cheaper tickets with kayak, do it. I personally hate Austin Travel.

A good portion of people that go with Austin Travel end up paying a few hundred $$ more than just booking them yourself. You are paying for the convenience of not having to book them yourself. They are a travel agency.

You may learn to trust Austin Travel ...

... when you (and/or your bags) miss the 25-minute LIAT connection in Antigua. Austin Travel knows that, in most cases, 25 minutes is ridiculously insufficient to transit that airport; you're just asking for trouble.

In my experience, Austin Travel knows Caribbean air routing better than anyone else, and the only extra cost for using them is a reasonable $52 service fee.

I do wish you luck.

Austin travel is still the "preferred" provider for tickets? my god folks, its 2008, we all have a computer and can book tickets on our own via AA's website. Even my 89 y/o grandmother with extensive dementia and accelerated brain shrinkage by imaging can do it...so shall you!
