Hi Friends, This is totally totally OFF TOPIC...but I believe this is one of the few places I can get credible assistance. I guess a good number of the people on this list are frequent fliers and this is why I need this expedia.com 101 lesson. Well, I want to travel soon and I want to buy a ticket via expedia.com since it seems cheaper than buying directly from the airlines. Here are my queries: 1. Is there anyone on the list who has ever bought a ticket from expedia.com and successfully gotten out of the country without any hitches? 2. When one buys this e-ticket, does one need to print it out and go with it to the airport? 3. When one gets to the departures place, what will they ask from me... 4. Can I confirm with the airline as to whether I have actually been booked by expedia.com to fly on the actual date selected? This is the first time in my life that I will be up there above the clouds, so please be gentle... Best Regards, Timo. ps. When I return I will bring you gifts...
You should not have any problems. Done it many times with expedia.com, kayak.com and a couple of others. You never need to print an e-ticket all you need to jot down is the reservation ref No. in case of anything. You will most likely want to check-in online (Can be done on the airlines website about 36 - 12 hours before the flight) then you can print the boarding pass. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Timothy Mutugi" <timothymutugi@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Viernes, 9 de Agosto 2013 12:01:41 | Subject: [Skunkworks] OT: Expedia.com for dummies | | Hi Friends, | | This is totally totally OFF TOPIC...but I believe this is one of the | few places I can get credible assistance.

I've never used expedia.com for traveling. Methinks, you better get reviews of users then make a decision based on that. However, remember, cheap is expensive. On 09/08/2013, Timothy Mutugi <timothymutugi@gmail.com> wrote:

I would think the risk is minimal since you can easily confirm with the airline once ticket is bought. On Aug 9, 2013 2:21 PM, "Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau" <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:

I have used expedia on two occasions and everything was just fine with them. Just follow the steps outlined by Steve Obbayi outlined above and you will be good to fly. Cheers, S On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 2:12 PM, Mark Mwangi <mwangy@gmail.com> wrote:
