A question about : Expedia Special fares on some BA flights

When browsing to book flights to Tenerife for October, I noticed that Expedia have some special fares for BA flights. I booked 5 return flights for Ј155.64 per person. Those same flights on BA were considerably more.

Even this morning, I just looked and there is still a saving to be had.

Also, I got some Nectar points.

Best answers:

  • Looks like expedia have bought allocations and are selling them at their own prices.
  • I've noticed when some airlines increase prices they often stay at the lower price for days/weeks on expedia.
  • Has anyone else been presented with this from Expedia? I found a holiday for myself, wife and 2 friends, selected in on Expedia at the advertised price (Ј370.00pp) plus Ј26.00 each extra for a more convenient flight schedule, and when I went to pay I was told on the payment screen that the price had gone up by Ј16.00pp. Not wanting to loose the holiday and disappoint our friends - I accepted and paid. I then asked Expedia why on 3 occasions and they said its down to whatever the hotel want to charge and accepted no responsibility for that. I pointed out that they had offered a holiday at a price and at no time does it tell you the price is a "guideline" price. I thought this practise of seducing you with one price and then charging more was stamped out - but clearly its not. There is little transparency here - Expedia staff just stand firm and basically say "tough" or "you accepted the price so there is no recourse". So was I supposed to try and phone them when I saw that message and risk loosing the holiday - I think not.
    So BEWARE of EXPEDIA'S methods.
