@MichaelHampton basically i wanted to know if i can avoid non-airline websites/travel agents while booking connecting flights and still get all the advantages of a single ticket (e.g. they will help me in case of delay in first flight). I got this problem because certain connecting flight combination was not available with an online booking website that accepts my local credit card). so i wanted to know if i can just avoid these online booking sites/travel agents and book on my own by directly contacting the airlines.
@pnuts i thought these booking websites are the same thing as travel agents (are they not?) basically they get a commission for selling me tickets. i want to avoid them and book tickets.
@pnuts sorry, i'm not getting you. that line you mentioned says i need to contact travel agent. I want to know if i can book connecting flights of different airlines on same ticket without going via any online booking website.
@pnuts how to book connecting flights single ticket for example - this is first result tripadvisor.com/Travel-g41707-c207311/… It says there are some disadvantages in getting separate tickets for connecting flights. But does not tell the solution for this problem that does not include a travel agent.
