What are the disadvantages of making airline reservations via internet?
Answer Hi — In my opinion, the luxury of being able to order plane tickets from here at my desk far outweighs the few disadvantages that go along with buying tickets this way. But to answer your question, here are the disadvantages that come immediately to mind: — Unless you are willing to accept e-tickets (you don’t actually receive a ticket until you check in for your flight), there is an extra fee for receiving actual tickets in the mail. — You have to know what you’re doing when you buy online. Travel or ticket agents normally can tell you about specials, discounts, etc. When you order from an online ticket clearinghouse, you are quoted a price for the exact ticket you ask for. For instance, if you’re interested in a flight that is almost full, no one will tell you that you may be purchasing a premium-priced coach ticket. — Not all airlines participate in online clearinghouse ticket sales; in order to purchase tickets with some airlines, you must buy directly from their web sit
