The question is fine. It's been my experience that, PROVIDED there are no problems, then it's not a problem. If there is a problem, then there is a problem.... Prices can be better, but if something gets screwed up, customer service can be a big problem. Everyone hands off the issue to someone else...

Ken,
Also take a look at Kayak, but keep in mind almost ALWAYS the air carrier, just like hotel sites, give the best rate and you have someone to call. Having said that you can bump into great trips on third party sites. If you are willing to play games, and Kayak is good for that, try for example flying into point A and then flying out of point B.
Sometimes that type itinerary can offer some great savings. I do not know the trip you have planned, but be flexible and you can save a bunch. We are leaving for Europe in a couple days and I used frequent flyer miles so that does not count, but our friends got roundtrip from DC to Switzerland on the way and return from Amsterdam to DC for around $600. That is a good price. Just play the game - you can win.

I just had a positive experience with Expedia in regards to airfare, for what it's worth. AA added a stop over and a 2 hr. change to SXM and i went alright. Then they added a stop over for the return flight with my connector flight leaving 5 hours before i arrive. I called Expedia, and although it took some phone time, they where very professional and nice and refunded my flights. Now i'm starting with a clean slate.

Glad you scored a great fare. I also booked with AA and found a better price than Expedia for the flight times i wanted! Does your Friend that paints have a web site? Hope you have a great trip!

Glad you were able to get a good deal, going directly with the airline. That is always the best way to go, if you can. Generally you can find the same deal directly with the airline, or better.
Enjoy your trip!
