| The same complaints in the two Herald articles came out on Dave's in 2007, so if people had done their homework they wouldn't have been scammed. That doesn't excuse Kang, but it boggles the mind that he was still getting customers. Google is your friend. |
Duh, like yeah. The Dave's search function is so useful.  |
So I take it you've never heard of this wonderful new website called Google . |

| I hope he gets nailed hard for this, but do all of you really use travel agents? I go on kayak.com and find the cheapest ticket I can get. Everything else is usually book on other websites, like hostels or hotels. What benefit do you guys get from travel agents nowadays? Was the guy at Zenith offering anything more remarkable than what can be found on your own? |
I find that travel agents offer the better deal. Every time I try to finalize a sale online it always comes out a few hundred higher than travel agents. |
Yeah that's why I use xanadu, you have the extra help of a person you can go to in person should you need to.
Their prices always match expedia.com exactly, so no complaints there.
Maaybe I'm being a dunce soemwhere here and online is cheaper though? |
I'm finding travel agents like Soho, Unique and Xanadu to be FAR MORE expensive than booking through the airline sites, they were quoting me 2.5 mil for a flight to the states on American Airlines and their AA website quotes 1.7 including taxes |

Soho gives me cheaper in-Asia flights, but heading stateside I always find cheaper on Kayak or thereabouts. |
