But there are individuals on here who thought they were smart and got mugged off. I too am a seasoned traveller and looked at various options but knew that you don't use those sites so, swerved. Just thinking when I called someone out for bullshit and got a number of responses I am feeling quite smug now. Anyhow, the main thing is that people still have options and the willingness to travel to enjoy our first taste of europe.

Fair enough. I have never heard of flight aggregators. I used to travel a lot but after a few early crap experiences with budget airlines learned to always prioritise airline over price.

I'm currently waiting for confirmation from Lastminute for Marseille trip Wed-Sat, says processing but worryingly "We're working on getting your boarding passes. You'll get an update soon."
Amsterdam booking is confirmed but for Athens think I'll book flights direct.

Let's just get this straight though. 3rd parties move their prices with the airlines. As someone said the price was continually updating during the booking. There's no special formula.or cheatsheet. No bullshit the price I paid was the correct price at the time.
I know people who have booked through other third parties for these games that got the bookings through fine. But the risks aren't worth it, hence why I thought I would try and be helpful with this thread for other fans.

I've used them a lot (Expedia and others) more to check possibilities than anything but had never heard of the term itself until today.

Astonished how many people appear to be booking flights and hotels and tickets aren’t even on sale yet. It’s this mass panic I guess that feeds algorithms and why we’re all now controlled and ripped off by our digital masters. You reap what you sow I guess.
