FlightCentre is Awesome for Their Price Matching
I just learned something new the other day. FlightCentre, a chain of travel shops in Canada, has a "Price Beat" promotion that is on all the time.
Basically, they guarantee to get all the flights you have found for a trip and match the price and then discount $10 per person for the booking.
My wife and I had found the cheapest prices we could get by looking on Travelocity, Expedia, and EasyJet. We were just about to book, but then remembered we would be charged $15 per flight if we wanted to be mailed a paper ticket. I called FlightCentre thinking they would at least match and we could get the paper ticket then, but they said they would match and give me back $10.
What a sweet deal. Now they were not able to get all the tickets as paper tickets, so I'll have to get away with the e-ticket online, but it still translates into around $40/person savings when there are a couple flights involved.
I was impressed that they would match the online shops as well. I just found the tickets I wanted and printed them off. When I walked in and handed them to an agent they just started working away. They called me an hour later and said I could come in and fill out the paperwork.
