Hey again.
So my recruiter told me I was to book the flight, and then they would pay for it....
Ok... Never heard of that one before. Not sure if that's even possible.
Any1 have that before?
And this isn't I pay first, then they pay me back. He said book it, and they will pay for it.
So my question would be, can you actually do that?
The other question would be, where's the best place to look for flights?
Expedia seems to be acting up a bit. |

I have no idea what they're talking about either.
If anything, they should book and pay for the flight together. That's what my recruiter did, gave me the departure date and time along with the e-ticket number. |

I prefer to book my own flights to make sure I get the seating I like and make sure that I get the carrier I prefer. I just call my favorite travel agent at home and tell them I want a direct flight and my seating preference. They let me know what airlines will be flying in that time frame, and what the price difference will be.
You might want to ask them to clarify how they are going to pay. Do they want you to book a flight and they will give the travel agent the credit card info after you email them the itinerary? |

I was reimbursed for my flight a week after I got here. For what it's worth... |

If you state your departure city and date of departure, perhaps we can find a good fare. |

I am leaving from Toronto, june 26th or 27th... I am not too worried about the cost as the school is paying for it...
The fun thing is. the travel agency needs them to fax a filled out form, as well as a copy of their ID and credit card for it to go through.
I told the school it's easier if they buy it, but they didn't listen. |
