I wanted to book a flight back to Malaysia from USA and these 3 travel agents (airfare.com, novatravel.com, orbitz.com) quoted me with a very low price. But the problem is I'm not sure if they're trustworthy or not. Did anyone use any one of these travel agents before? If so, please give some reviews on them.

Yes. They are generally trust worthy. But use caution when purchasing the tickets to make sure they don't tack on a whole bunch of fees. I wouldn't put it past them. I don't even know how they make out a living Hey good luck and take care.

I have only heard bad a bad review on orbitz.. I've booked with airfare.com before and had no trouble, but never been to novatravel.com.

man, well, after reading that LONG page, I've decided to boycott orbitz as well. Better be safe than sorry.
Thanx for the info! Really appreciate it.

I've always made my tickets on orbitz.com and everything comes out OK. I recommend hotels.com for booking hotels. ETA: Always check before you book. Make sure that the stops make sense and give you time to connect.

I bought my ticket only once through Airfare.com and I had a terrible experience, they first confirmed my ticket and then never issued the ticket, without ever tell me. Fortunatelly since I did not completely trust them, I called the airline and found out they never issued the ticket. Their customer service is extremely rude. They offered me a voucher which I have never seen.
Definitely do not use this site, there is better out there

I've used airfare.com once and will never use them again. We had to cancel our plans and they said they would give us credit for our flight but it's been a year now and their customer service is useless. They always give us the runaround - and thus, we are out $1500. Do yourself a favor and use a reputable online service - not Airfare.com.

I tried to buy through airfare.Com and they made unauthorized transactions on my visa, then I was not able to talk to anyone there. Every guy would put me on hold for a few minutes then hang up on me. DON'T BUY AIRFARE.COM.. Be warned

I have used Nova Travel 3 times. Once to go to Ukrain, and twice now to go to China. I have had very good experience and the best price every time. I highly recommend them. I am using them again to go to China for the Chinese New Year and The Spring Festival in February.

NEVER USE ORBITZ
Airfare.com, Novatravel.com, Orbitz.com

So we are in Ft. Lauderdale Florida for a business trip. This trip was suppose to be taken originally with our RV, but that didn't happen thanks to my carelessness. Since that, this trip has had some serious frustration, so let me clarify.

Ft. Lauderdale is actually really nice, aside from overly priced food that really isn't that great, this area is beautiful and is clear why Florida is so popular.

The nightmare is Orbitz, and for those that don't want to read more, just follow these instructions. DON'T USE THEM.

For the rest who are curious, the trip went fine to get here, but I had booked the hotel and car with Orbitz. I booked the airfare directly with Continental thankfully. So got the car, economy was what was requested, and according to Hertz the Toyota Prius was economy and that's what they gave me. TOTALLY AWESOME, people should know we are big fans of green, and was happy so far.

Then we got to the hotel. So right on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, but the room was disgusting. We are talking the classic shit hole, you could feel the mold, dust mites, and bed bugs partying at the sight of humans, it was that grungy. I was expecting cheap, but still sensible.
