OTA v Airline v TA

[laffer]

Hi there

I am looking to book some SQ flights in J.

Bestjet.com is offering three tickets. The SQ website is $1500 more for the same flights.

I have read some pretty bad reports about Bestjet. There is a 2 hour connection in SQ (to a different airline which will be on separate itinerary) so I do need things to go smoothly and past experience with OTA suggests it be can difficult to get things done if it goes awry.

Would a traditional TA match the bestjet.com price?

I am not sure why there is a huge difference between Bestjet and SQ? Does anyone have any experiences to share? Is it just too good to be true?

Recent VA DPS-SYD fares with trip(dot)com were much cheaper (>$200) than anywhere else. Particularly good as needing 7 tickets. Imagine my surprise when they were in fully flexible Freedom with the extra SCs. No issues and all credited fine.

Exactly the same with us RooFlyer.Used to be great paying 4-8 weeks out after first booking some 12 months out.Even better because in those days I had an overdraft.
